Why she might be annoying:

    She joined the Nazi Party at age fourteen.
    She dropped out of school at the age of fifteen.
    One of the most hated guards at Auschwitz, she was known to beat prisoners with a plaited whip that she carried and also let loose dogs on prisoners.
    Josef Kramer, the commandant of Bergen-Belsen told her not to beat prisoners with her whip. She ignored him and did it anyway.
    She took part in the selection of prisoners for Josef Mengele's medical experiments at Auschwitz.
    She is considered a hero among several Neo-Nazi groups.
    She denied many of the charges against her when put on trial, despite concrete evidence that proved she was guilty.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is the product of a criminal regime, who probably would have never done such things under other circumstances.
    She originally was attempting to find a job as a nurse before joining the SS.
    She is known to be the youngest person put to death by English law in the 20th Century.
