2 February 1943. After the German surrender at Stalingrad, the tide of war turns. As Soviet forces advance westward, they uncover concentration camps, gas chambers, and mass graves — exposing the scale of Nazi crimes.

One of those who served within this system was Alice Orlowski.

Born in Berlin in 1903, Orlowski became an SS guard during the Second World War. After serving at Ravensbrück, she was transferred to Majdanek in 1942, where survivors described her as one of the camp’s most brutal guards. Beatings, torture, and selections for death marked her record. She later served at Płaszów and Auschwitz, where prisoners feared her violence.

As the Third Reich collapsed, she took part in the death marches of 1945. Captured after the war, she was tried during the Auschwitz Trial and sentenced to prison. Years later, she was arrested again in West Germany for crimes committed at Majdanek.

This is the story of a brutal Nazi female guard — and the long pursuit of accountability in the aftermath of the Third Reich.
