Ruth Neudeck
Ruth Neudeck served as SS overseer and head of the Uckermark death-camp section.. The profile reconstructs the person’s function in Ravensbrück and Uckermark through documented office, decisions, supervision or operational conduct. It does not assign every crime committed by an institution or region to one individual.
