"While Karl Otto was known for his personal greed in the camps he worked in, Ilse was known as the 'Bitch of Buchenwald' for her bestial cruelty and sadistic behavior. She was especially fond of riding her horse through the camp, whipping any prisoner who attracted her attention. Her hobby was collecting lampshades, book covers, and gloves made from the skins of specially murdered concentration camp inmates, and shrunken human skulls...."

"It is more interesting that Frau Koch had a lady's handbag made out of the same material [human skin]."

It wouldn't surprise me if the grand boys still use the lamps with human skin as shades for their evening reading.

"Are there Hitler-era Nazis in the Koch Family Closet?" by Leonard Ziskind, March 30, 2011. It's worth reading the whole thing.

Here's Ziskind's summation:
The fact that Fred C. Koch did not found the Birch Society, and was not related to or did business with the Hitler-era Nazi Kochs, does not subtract from the tremendous amount of harm that he did in his time, and that David and Charles have done in ours. It does not help, however, to fight the Kochs with misinformation. The truth is strong enough by itself.
