	ZNet Commentary: Bloody Brigitte
		Hermine Braunsteiner was born in 1919 to a well-off family in Vienna.
		Hermine Ryan would have lived happy ever after if it wasn't for Wiesenthal to discover her real identity which he reported to the US Immigration and Naturalization Department.
		Braunsteiner's line of defense in the Majdanek Trial was that she had been but "a small wheel in the machinery", a young girl without experience and that "...the whole impression and the whole atmosphere in the camp were very hard on me, I mean, as a woman".

	Speaking Volumes \| The Jewish Exponent
		Neighbors who were questioned insisted that they could not believe what was being said about Ryan's "gruesome" past.
		When first confronted, Ryan never denied that she was Hermine Braunsteiner of Maidanek, but she insisted that she'd spent most of her time in the camp infirmary.
		Though Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan had never left husband and children behind, it was her enthusiasm for barbarity that reminded me of Schneider's mother; this willing Nazi's determination and single-mindedness is one of the more chilling aspects rendered by Schneider in Let Me Go.

		Best known of the defendants—and the only one to receive a life sentence was Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan, 61, who was reportedly known at Maidanek as "the Mare," because of her predilection for kicking victims with her shiny jackboots.
		An Austrian, Hermine met Russell Ryan, then a U.S. Air Force mechanic, in Europe, married him in Canada in 1958 and later moved with him to the U.S., where she became a citizen and a resident of Queens, N.Y. She was discovered in Canada in 1964 by Simon Wiesenthal, a tireless tracker of Nazi fugitives.
		Hermine Ryan told the court she now had "deep understanding and regret" for the sufferings of the prisoners.

		Born in Vienna, Austria, to an affluent family, she finished school and dreamed of becoming a nurse.

		However, in his memoirs, former New York Times executive editor Joseph Lelyveld writes that, when he was a young reporter at the Times, Wiesenthal alerted the paper to the possibility that Braunsteiner had married a man named Russell Ryan and was living in Maspeth, a neighborhood of the borough of Queens in New York City.

		Ryan was, in reality, an infamous death-camp guard, Hermine Braunsteiner, known by prisoners there as the Stomping Mare.
		She was known for her pitiless selection of women and children for the gas chamber, and for her predilection for whipping women to death, kicking away stools to hang children and stomping old women to death with her jackboots.
		When Braunsteiner was hauled into court, becoming the first United States citizen to be extradited for war crimes in 1981, neighbors couldn't believe it.

	Liege Calling - Obituary: Simon Wiesenthal
		Wiesenthal was instrumental in the identification and arrest of some 3,000 war criminals, most famously Adolf Eichmann, the SS "desk murderer" who turned the mass killing of Jews in the Third Reich into an organised industry.
		The trial and imprisonment of the former Treblinka death camp commandant Franz Strangl, and of the bestial Majdanek camp guard Hermine Braunsteiner, were among other notable successes.
		Wiesenthal was not unusually vindictive by nature, but on his release from Mauthausen concentration camp in 1945 he felt that those responsible for the death camps must, if possible, be brought to account.

	Don't Look Back: Holocaust Survivors in the U.S. by William Helmreich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Where Irving Howe's World of Our Fathers deals with Jews who came to America between 1881 and 1917, there is no World of Our Fathers about the 140,000 European Holocaust survivors who came to the United States after World War II or even about the other two-thirds of the survivors who came to Israel.
		Aside from a few small books such as Dorothy Rabinowitz's New Lives, which quotes from some 18 interviews with survivors surrounding the Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan trial, and one or two edited collections of interviews, there has been no social history whatsoever of the survivor community.
		We know nothing from published sources about the communities they set up, where they went, how they lived, their economic patterns, their family patterns, except in the area of pathology and deviance.

	A tribute and homage to Simon Wiesenthal, Who Helped Hunt Nazis After War, Dies at 96
		Wiesenthal tracked down Karl Silberbauer, at the time a Vienna policeman, who had been the Gestapo aide responsible for arresting Anne Frank and her family in their secret annex in Amsterdam, a feat of sleuthing that buttressed the credibility of Anne's diary in the face of neo-Nazi claims that it was fabricated.
		He unmasked Hermine Braunsteiner-Ryan, a whip-wielding guard at the Maidanek death camp who was living in Queens and who received a life sentence in West Germany.
		Wiesenthal penetrated veils of secrecy shrouding the Nazi euthanasia program and doctors who conspired in killing "useless eaters." He also traced the escape routes of SS criminals and other Nazis, documenting the underground network known from its German initials as Odessa.

		There was the arrest of Karl Silberbauer, the Gestapo aide who arrested Anne Frank — at a time when Holocaust deniers questioned the veracity of her published diary.
		He also found Majdanek camp guard Hermine Braunsteiner-Ryan, who was living as a Queens housewife.
		The notion that this seemingly retiring person had been a notoriously sadistic tormentor did as much, if not more, to wake up people to the everyday quality of participants in the Final Solution as did seeing Eichmann in a glass booth.
