The story
"In the camp there was a
cage with a bear and an eagle, and every day, they would throw
a Jew in there. The bear would tear him apart and the eagle would pick
at his bones."
"But that's unbelievable," whispered a visitor.
"It is unbelievable," said Mr. Hubert, "but it happened."

The Commandant's Wife
Ilse Koch was known as the “Bitch of Buchenwald”
for her bestial cruelty and sadistic behavior. She was especially fond
of riding her horse through the camp, whipping any prisoner who
attracted her attention.
Ilse would specially select prisoners with distinctive
tattoos on her rides around the camp. These prisoners would be killed
and their skin tanned and stored for later use by the
SS guards. Her taste for collecting lampshades made from the
tattooed skins was described by a witness at
The Nuremberg Trials after the war:

Ilsa Koch Was A Monster
Prisoners there were locked in the
doghouses, chained by the neck, and forced to lap up their
food from a bowl. Anyone failing to bark when Koch walked
by received twenty-five lashes with a cane. Koch had one
prisoner beaten senseless, then ordered guards to stop up
his anus with hot asphalt and force him to drink castor
oil.
