Carmen Castro Mory (2 July 1906 – 9 April 1947) was a Swiss spy for Nazi Germany and Kapo in the Ravensbrück concentration camp.
Carmen Castro Mory was born 2 July 1906 in Bern, Switzerland to Dr. Ernest Emil Mory, a Swiss physician in charge of the sanatorium in Switzerland and Leona Castro Bischoff, a Filipino from Iloilo, Philippines.
[1][3][4] Despite being a kapo, she was scheduled to be sent to the gas chamber, but a friend of her father (a Bern doctor) struck her name off the list.
[4] In Ravensbrück she acquired a "monstrous" reputation,[6] with one source describing her as "sadomasochistic, psychopathic, sexually voracious [and] one of the camp's most notorious kapos".
[1][4][9] She received significant negative coverage in press during her trial, having been described as "the monster", a "third-rate Mata Hari", and "Bella Donna".
