| | A German Girl's heroic death |
 | | The testimony from the Belsen Trial indicates that Miss Grese was an SS Aufseherin, or Overseer, who was assigned duties along with seven other women to guard over 20-30 thousand inmates, most of them Hungarian Jewesses detained at Auschwitz. |
 | | However, from May until December, 1944, Grese was appointed senior Aufseherin for Compound C which turned out to be the eventual cause of her undoing. |
 | | By comparison, if an inmate happened to have been caught stealing food and clothing by their fellow inmates, they were usually assassinated, according to the statements of numerous survivors after the war. |
