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.

 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.
