(82) DEPOSITION OF TOLLA STEMPLER (Pole, aged 20)

2. I identify No. 4 on photograph 37 as an S.S. woman who was at Belsen. I have been told that her name is Hildegard Hahnel. During February, 1945, whilst at Belsen, I was in the bath-house together with about 100 girls. Hahnel at that time was in charge of the bath-house. Apparently the girls did not dress quickly enough for her, and with a whip she was carrying, she beat some of the girls whilst they were naked. The beatings were very severe and I saw that she had drawn blood in many cases.
