Amalie Payrleitner

Amalie Payrleitner

Amalie Payrleitner was a guard at the Mauthausen and Ravensbrück camps during the last years of World War II.

Amalie Payrleitner was born in Vienna, Austria on June 16, 1922. In 1944, as the call for guards became more desperate, she was forced to become a camp guard for the Nazis. On October 1, 1944, she reported to the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp in near Linz to be trained as an SS guard. Eventually, Payrleitner, as well as Albine Pallaoro oversaw a transport of female prisoners to Ravensbrück concentration camp. There she continued out her duties until the camp's liberation. She has never been charged with war crimes.
