Ida Schreiter

Ida Schreiter (1912 – 20 September 1948 in Hamelin) was from 1939 to 1945 an Aufseherin (labor department warden) in Ravensbrück concentration camp.

After the Second World War, Schreiter was brought to justice by the British occupation forces in Germany. She was accused of having taken part in the "selections" of prisoners who were subsequently murdered or died as a result of deliberate overwork or neglect. At the Seventh Ravensbrück Trial she was convicted of war crimes and sentenced to death. Schreiter was subsequently hanged on the gallows at Hameln prison by British executioner Albert Pierrepoint.
