Juana Bormann

Juana Bormann (also Johanna Borman, often misspelt Juanna Bormann), aka Wiesel and Die Frau mit den Hunden (10th September 1893 - 13th December 1945) was a Concentration Camp guard and no relation to Martin Bormann.

As a guard, Juana first served at Lichtenburg under Oberaufseherin Gerda Bernigau, then was transferred first to Ravensbruck, then to the women's camp at Auschwitz Birkenau, where she served under women's camp manageress Maria Mandel, camp leader Margot Dreschel and supervisor Irma Grese. She also served at Budy, Hindenburg and, most infamously, Bergen-Belsen, alongside such notorious guards as Grese and Josef Kramer.

After being captured by Allied forces in 1944, Juana was charged as a War criminal, and her status as one of the feared "Beasts of Belsen" emerged. Juana was known as "The Woman with the Dogs" or "Die Frau mit den Hunden" due to her love of setting her dogs on prisoners. She also regularly beat and abused prisoners.

Juana was convicted and hanged along with the other "Beasts of Belsen" such as Grese and Kramer on the 13th of December 1945.
