The details about Kaethe Hoern are unknown. We do not know where or when she was born, all we know is that she was born in Germany. In 1944, however, Kaethe arrived at Ravensbruck to begin her training as a female SS guard. She trained under Dorothea Binz, and soon became known among the female overseers as a "leader type." In the summer of 1944, Kaethe was given the title of Oberaufseherin in Ravensbruck, and assigned as head wardress to the Buchenwald subcamp near Allenburg, Germany. There she commanded up to fifty SS Aufseherin at one time, as well as over 400 women prisoners. In April 1945, Kaethe fled the Allendorf subcamp. In 1947 an American Tribunal tried the former head camp wardress for war crimes. One survivor pointed out how she would beat sick prisoners to make them work and punched one inmate in her ear to wake her up. Eventually she served seven years in prison for the maltreatment of concentration camp prisoners. 1944 was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will take you to calendar). ...
