The faces of two lovers who did terrible things to others in a terrible place were shown to a mass online audience for the first time yesterday.

The couple, Josef Kramer, nicknamed the Beast of Belsen, and Irma Grese, 25, in charge of death cells at the Nazi concentration camp, were seen in photographs digitised by the Imperial War Museum. They were hanged after being convicted of mass atrocities at the Nuremberg trials, which opened 60 years ago yesterday.
