Ms. Crasnianski said of Ms. Burwitz: "She wasn't a leader at Stille Hilfe, but she was the big name." Through the organization, Ms. Burwitz is reported to have helped Klaus Barbie, the so-called Butcher of Lyon, and Anton Malloth, an SS guard at the Theresienstadt concentration camp om Czechoslovakia.) Wikipedia, 8 August 2018 (Die Stille Hilfe für Kriegsgefangene und Internierte (English: "Silent assistance for prisoners of war and interned persons"), abbreviated Stille Hilfe, is a relief organization for arrested, condemned and fugitive SS members, similar to the veterans' association HIAG, set up by Helene Elisabeth Princess von Isenburg (1900-1974) in 1951. The organisation has come under criticism for its encouragement and support of Neo-Nazis. The organization has garnered a reputation for being shrouded in secrecy and thus remains a source of speculation. Operating covertly since 1946, the organization that later became publicly active as "Stille Hilfe", aided the escape of hunted Nazi fugitives, particularly to South America. Thus Adolf Eichmann, Johann von Leers, Walter Rauff and Josef Mengele could escape to Argentina.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stille_Hilfe>
