Ruth Elfriede Hildner (1 November 1919 – 2 May 1947) was a guard at several Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Hildner was conscripted into camp service in July 1944, arriving at Ravensbrück concentration camp to be trained as a camp matron.
Hildner, just 24 years old, entered the Dachau concentration camp in September 1944 as an Aufseherin.
Next she was sent to an Agfa Camera-werke-connected subcamp at Munich; she eventually served in several subcamps, including Hennigsdorf, Wittenberg and Haselhorst.
In December 1944, she arrived at Helmbrechts, a tiny subcamp of Flossenbürg located near Hof, Germany.
There, she was feared by the camp's inmates, both Jews and non-Jews. In April 1945, the guards at the small camp evacuated the women in the face of the U.S.
Army.
Hildner was one of several guards on the death march who took part in mistreatment and murder of several young girls with her rod.
She also accompanied the march into Zwodau, another subcamp of Flossenbürg, located in Czechoslovakia.
Several days later the march left there and headed into western Czechoslovakia.
In early May 1945, the SS men and female overseers fled the march site.
Hildner melted into the hordes of refugees, escaping temporarily, but was recognized by Czechoslovakian police in March 1947, arrested and put in prison.
