Take Juana Bormann, for instance. She was a prison guard who rotated among several different concentration camps. Upon meeting her, most might assume she is just a frail old lady. She was capable of so much more, sadly. Prisoners knew her as the “woman with the dogs,” because she was known to sic aggressive dogs on anyone, as she felt was appropriate. Victims would be left with terrible wounds. In 1945, justice was served when Bormann was tried as a war criminal. She was convicted and executed.
8. Aileen Wuornos
Aileen Wuornos worked as a prostitute in Florida. Beyond that, though, she was part of something much more nefarious, something that went on for a whole year. By the time she was caught, she had killed six people. Her story intrigued the general public, and soon a film was made about her, entitled Monster.
