'Who was she? And what does her mythologizing truly tell us about life as a woman during the Holocaust?'
Ballerina Franceska Mann became legend when she killed an S.S. guard on the way to the gas chamber. But who was she? And what does her mythologizing truly tell us about life as a woman during the Holocaust?
Along with a large group of women, Franceska was led to the undressing room next to the gas chamber and told to strip. As the women undressed, Schillinger and Emmerich watched, their gaze soon honing in on Franceska. She noticed them watching and looked them directly in the eye. Which is why Franceska’s story become mythologized—feverishly passed around the prisoners, its details becoming blurrier and blurrier.
Though it’s now agreed it was most likely Franceska Mann who shot down Schillinger and Emmerich, it’s undoubtable that this incident took on a life of its own, becoming more fiction than fact.Well, the answer is simple and very bleak. To be in a concentration camp meant you were immediately stripped of your human rights, made more vulnerable than you could ever have believed. For women, this also meant they were vulnerable to sexual attack and abuse.Schillinger was by all accounts sadistic, teaming up with his mate Wilhelm Emmerich to wreak all kinds of horror on the prisoners under his watch.
