Between 1941 and 1942 she began her guard training at the Ravensbruck camp in Germany. In October 1942 she was selected as one of the SS Aufseherin to be posted at the Majdanek camp near Lublin, Poland where she and Hermine Braunsteiner came to be regarded as two of the most brutal overseers. They regularly loaded trucks of women for the gas chamber. When a child was left over the two would throw the children on the top of the adults like luggage and bolt the door shut. Orlowski would often be waiting when new transports of women arrived. The guard would then whip them, especially across the eyes. In Majdanek, Orlowski was promoted to the rank of Kommandofuhrerin (Work Detail Overseer) in the sorting sheds. The SS woman had over 100 women under her supervision, who sorted through stolen items from gassed prisoners; watches, furs, coats, gold, jewellery, money, toys, glasses, etc. When the camp was evacuated, the Nazis sent Orlowski to the Plaszow camp near Krakow, Poland. 1941 was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1942 was a common year starting on Thursday (link will take you to calendar). ...

In early January 1945, Orlowski was one of the SS women posted on the death march to Auschwitz Birkenau and it was during this time that her behaviour, previously noted as being brutal and sadistic, became more humane. On the death march in mid-January 1945 from Auschwitz to Loslau, Orlowski gave comfort to the inmates, and even slept with them on the ground outside, and not in beds like Germans were entitled to. She also brought water to those who were thirsty. It is unknown why her attitude changed, but some speculate that she sensed the war was almost over and she would soon be a war criminal. Orlowski eventually ended up at Ravensbruck as a guard. After the war ended in May 1945, Orlowski was captured by Soviet forces and extradited to Poland to stand trial for war crimes. The "picture book SS woman" stood accused at the Auschwitz Trial in 1947. Because of her brutality she was given a sentence of life imprisonment. She was released in 1957 after serving only ten years. In 1975 West Germany tracked Orlowski down and placed her on trial in the third Majdanek Trial.
