"On Auschwitz" (38): Women supervisors at Auschwitz

Over two hundred women served the SS in KL Auschwitz. They were
divided into three groups according to the duties they performed:
the biggest group constituted the so-called
Aufseherinnen, whose main task was to watch over women
prisoners; the second group was formed by women employed in
communication services described
as SS-Helferinnen working in SS headquarters offices as
radiotelegraph operators, stenographers and telephone operators;
the last group consisted of nurses.
