Background

Woellert was born in Friedland, Germany. On 15 September 1941, she arrived at Ravensbrück to undergo guard training. In March 1942, she arrived at Auschwitz I camp in Poland. There she gained the title of Leiterin eines Sortierkommandos ("Chief Overseer of a Sorting Party").

Disappearance

Mayer later went to the Majdanek camp near Lublin, and when Majdanek was evacuated in early 1944, she arrived back at Auschwitz, and then disappeared. Her fate is unknown.

gollark: Well, I have somewhat working backups, so probably "wipe server, reinstall from USB stick, reload important stuff but probably keep external network access down for a bit".
gollark: I mostly just try and keep software up to date, shove sandboxes on network-facing services, and hope vulnerability-scanning botnets or something don't catch up fast enough.
gollark: Probably high, especially since all of it's written in unsafe C for some reason.
gollark: I like to think I'm okay at Linux administration stuff (not really networking), but it's entirely possible my servers have been compromised or something and I haven't noticed, really.
gollark: But I don't know if that's very practical.
