Wasn't Isle Koch at Buchenwald what a nasty piece of kit she was, she used to walk her 2 Rottweilers through the yards and laughed when they tore up and killed the weakened captives along with having lamp shades made out of the tattooed skin from prisoners she selected to have killed and then skinned.

At least four separate witnesses for the prosecution testified that they had seen Koch choose tattooed prisoners, who were then killed, or had seen or been involved in the process of making human-skin lampshades from tattooed skin.However, this charge was dropped by the prosecution when they could not prove lampshades or any other items were actually made from human skin.
A series of short films presented by Stephen Feinberg, from the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum, explore the myths and misconceptions about the Nazi period and the Holocaust that students may bring with them to the classroom.
The Nazis routinely made soap out of human fat and lampshades out of human skin
