Dorothea "Theodora" Binz (16 March 1920 – 2 May 1947)[1] was a Nazi German officer and supervisor at Ravensbrück concentration camp during the Holocaust.

[3] Born to a lower middle-class German family in Försterei Dusterlake, Brandenburg, Germany, Binz attended school until she was 15.

[5] Binz served as an Aufseherin under Oberaufseherin Emma Zimmer, Johanna Langefeld, Maria Mandl, and Anna Klein.

[9] At Ravensbrück, the young Binz is said to have beaten, slapped, kicked, shot, whipped, stomped and sexually abused prisoners[10][11] and set trained fighting dogs on them.

[2] She reportedly carried a whip in hand, along with a leashed German Shepherd, and without any provocation notice would kick prisoners to death.

[8] Binz fled Ravensbrück during the death march, but was captured on 3 May 1945 by the British in Hamburg,[4] and incarcerated in the Recklinghausen camp (formerly a Buchenwald subcamp).
