Elfriede Rinkel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elfriede Rinkel (born July 14, 1922 in Leipzig, Germany as Elfriede Huth) was a guard at the Ravensbrück concentration camp near Berlin.
She worked at the camp from June of 1944 until April 1945 handling an SS-trained guard dog. She was not a member of the Nazi party.
She left Germany for the United States and was admitted as an immigrant on or around September 21, 1959 in San Francisco, California. At a German-American Club in San Francisco she met German Jew Fred William Rinkel and they married. He died in 2004 and probably never learned of her past.
On September 1, 2006 Elfriede Rinkel was deported to Germany under a settlement agreement signed in June 2006 after being charged by a federal law requiring removal of aliens who took part in acts of Nazi-sponsored persecution filed by the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations (OSI) and the United States Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
