ww2dbaseLiselotte Meier volunteered for office duties in Eastern Europe and eventually engaged in a romantic relationship with Nazi official Hermann Hanweg. At the office, papers regarding deportations and mass shootings of Jews routinely passed through her desk. Off duty, Hanweg and Meier would engage in the shooting of Jews for entertainment on their estate in Lida, occupied Poland (now in Belarus).

I believe I have a photo of her in a adress book I found in an antique store. She put her pic in and gave it to someone dated 7/25/1945.
I would love to get some opinions.
