Until 1941 she was a maid in Berlin. This year she joined the SS. She worked as a watchdog in the Ravensbrück camps and later from October 1942 to July 1944 in Majdanek. The testimony of the prisoners shows that she was one of the most sadistic guards of Majdanek. After the war ended, she settled in Vienna. It was covered by a program of help for Nazi criminals provided by the legal German Peace Aid organization. Inspected by the Simon Wiesenthal Center was investigated by the Austrian prosecutor's office in 1973, but due to the fact that Austria covered Nazi crimes (apart from murder), the prosecution did not find in Austria the investigation was discontinued. A second investigation was launched in 2006 against Wallisch in Poland, after revealing the place of residence of the SS by Wiesenthal Center. Wallisch's attempts to extradite Poland have been made public, and the past of E. Wallisch has been broadcast in the media. Under the influence of these actions, the Austrian prosecutor's office at the beginning of 2008 was forced to investigate further the suspected death. Bibliography Authoritative control (person):
