Why she might be annoying:

    Her nickname was 'The Beast.'
    After taking an 'interest' in 19-year-old guard Irma Grese she promoted her to head of a Hungarian woman's camp.
    Any incoming prisoners that looked at her directly were never seen again.
    She had an orchestra play whenever there was a prisoner roll call, transport or execution.
    She kept 'pet Jews' around for fun until she tired of them and sent them to their deaths.
    She helped secure the deaths of over half a million women and children Holocaust victims.

Why she might not be annoying:

    During interrogations she was found to have a high degree of intelligence.
    She was on the lam for three months but foolishly hid in the town where she was born.
    Her last words were 'Long live Poland!' (hey, no hard feelings)
