Overview
- Summary
- "After WWII, Ilse Koch became known worldwide as the Bitch of Buchenwald. Yet, while she was guilty of atrocities, the most sensational crimes and sexual perversions ascribed to her by courts and newspapers never happened. Tomaz Jardim reveals how Koch's perceived betrayal of womanhood sealed her fate as a scapegoat for a society seeking absolution"-- Provided by publisher.
