Defendant no. 9 was the youngest war criminal to be sentenced to death by
hanging in the Bergen-Belsen trial in 1945. She caused a worldwide sensation
because the crimes she was accused of, her brutality and cruelty and her
sadism towards the prisoners stood in stark contrast to her appearance. She
had many names:"Hyena of Auschwitz," "Hell's Angel" or "Queen of Belsen." And
her accuser said of her at the trial: "And there is not a single atrocity that
took place in this camp for which she was not known to be responsible. She
regularly took part in the selection for the gas chamber, punished
arbitrarily, and when she came to Belsen, she continued in exactly the same
way." In this documentary, we embark on a search for clues in old files and
archives and shed light on the 243 days of 1945, from the liberation of the
Bergen-Belsen concentration camp to the execution of the perpetrators in
Hameln. We accompany Grese through the entire trial to the gallows, look at
the witness statements, read what the press wrote, discover little to hardly
known facts, correct mistakes and immerse ourselves directly in the events
when we follow the questioning and cross-examination of defendant no. 9.
