This documentary chronicles the grisly history of the Buchenwald concentration camp and its notorious female guard, Ilse Koch. Wife of the camp commandant, Karl Koch, Ilse earned the nickname "The Bitch of Buchenwald" for her own unique brand of sadism and torture -- which included fashioning lampshades out of human skin -- and served as the inspiration for the Nazi exploitation film Ilsa, She Wolf Of The SS. ~ Sandra Bencic, Rovi
