Creepy story of the night…

‘Nazi princess’ continues her father’s work

The death of a former SS guard and issuing an arrest warrant for another one drew attention to, perhaps, the most unusual support group in the world. The organization is called Stille Hilfe, or “Silent Aid” and helps former punitive flee from justice. The group is headed by none other than Heinrich Himmler’s daughter, 81-year-old Gudrun Burwitz.

According to various estimates, from 25 to 40 people are involved with Silent Aid. The organization truly lives up to its name and works silently, without attracting undue attention. Now, for example, the “supporters” are trying to avoid extradition to The Hague of 88-year Klaas Carel Faber, who the Netherlands authorities wanted to sentence to life imprisonment for involvement in the murder of 22 Jews and resistance fighters during the war.

Among the beneficiaries of Silent Aid was 89-year-old Samuel Koontz who passed away two weeks ago. The scale of his atrocities is far vaster: Kunz was accused of the involvement in the elimination of 433 thousand Jews in a Nazi concentration camp Belzec in occupied Poland.

The other day the members of the organization held another secret meeting in Munich, where the “supporters” have speculated on a strategy to assist the survived war criminals. Silent Aid is a completely legal organization that prefers not to get into a spotlight as it is not customary in Germany to publicly praise their “black sheep in the family” - Adolf Hitler or Nazism. However, the members of the organization are free to continue the work of their idol, and look for refuge for the few survived punishers.

The group has hundreds of anonymous supporters and not only in Germany, most of them are young neo-Nazis. They practically worship Gudrun Burwitz. This woman has devoted her entire life to the memory of her father. Himmler loved his daughter more than anyone in the world and called her his “little doll.” The feeling was mutual, and Gudrun adored her father.
