It was MEN who did that. They made the decisions, and they did the deeds (Carol)

Hermine Ryan, sentenced to life imprisonment as most brutal KZ warden in Ravensbrück and Majdanek

From the eyewitness testimony of Dieter Ambach about Ryan (my translation): One day in October 1943 a father tried to smuggle his son in his rucksack into the camp. Hermine Ryan saw that the rucksack moved and hit it with the whip. Until only a whimper came from the rucksack. Then she drew the bleeding boy by his hairs out of the rucksack and threw him on the open lorry to the other children. Departure to the gas chamber.

Several decades ago we still thought women could not run a marathon, drive a train and all that. Now most of us know that women can do everything as good (or as bad) as men.
