Prosecution charges Buchenwald beast for 46 murders
German prosecutor names Ilse Koch as the so called Beast of Buchenwald, charging her with direct responsibility for 46 murders and inciting many more at the Nazi death camp. The indictment accuses her of sadistic acts, including lashes and tattooed skin for lampshades, as her former inmate husband Karl Fock was a commander.
