4.0 out of 5 stars How does someone so beautiful, become so corrupt?, April 17, 1999
By Suzyraz@Aol.com (PA. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beautiful Beast: The Life & Crimes of Ss-Aufseherin Irma Grese (Paperback)
I found this book extremely interesting because not much in general is known about female SS. The fact that Miss Grese was so young, physically attractive, yet an ordinary girl, makes it all the more perplexing that she became entangled in Hitler's evil web. The author does a fine job of trying to explain Miss Grese's motives for becoming an aufseherin. She was basically limited intellectually, and seemed pathetic to this reader. One can never explain the capacity for the sub-human, barbarous treatment that these guards imposed upon their fellow man. It continues to frighten and deeply trouble me that these events did indeed take place. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in reading about the horrors of the holacaust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and comprehensive, August 20, 2006
By Susan Benedict (Mt. Pleasant, SC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Beautiful Beast: The Life & Crimes of Ss-Aufseherin Irma Grese (Paperback)
The Beautiful Beast is an interesting and comprehensive narrative of the life of Irma Grese, one of the most notorious female guards in the Nazi concentration camps. Dan Brown has done an excellent job of researching her life, activities, and the consequences in this book. As one who researches women in the Holocaust, I strongly recommend this book to all who are interested in this era.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting, March 3, 2002
By "bn110" (Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beautiful Beast: The Life & Crimes of Ss-Aufseherin Irma Grese (Paperback)
I got a very interesting look into the life of one of the persons belonging to the low ranks of the helpers to SS. As a testimony of what one of this helpers were capable doing - which led to her hanging after after The Belsen Trial in Germany - it should not be underestimated. This Grese has become some sort of cult figure among the neo nazis although they claim the Holocaust never existed or is undervalued. Strange that neo nazis undervalue what the Führer, Himmler and others like Grese did. Read it!
