Amalie Wilde (or Vilde) was born Amalie Jung on May 12, 1924, or on June 2, 1922 in Holzheim or Munich, Germany (her file is not clear). In September 1941 Amalie was sent to Buchenwald as one of the first female overseers in the camp under Ilse Koch. At that time the only women who came to the camp were elderly Jewesses from Vienna, and several female political prisoners, who did not stay in the camp for long. Eventually, Amalie stayed in the camp for almost the whole duration of the camps existence (September 1941 until April 1945). Prisoner accounts of Amalie vary, some say she was not rutheless, while others say she equaled Koch in her brutality. Amalie fled the Buchenwald camp in April 1945 and was never tried for war crimes.
