Help Identifying Aufseherin & Helferin

Post by Attilathe43rdhun » 29 Oct 2022 21:55

I'm apologize if this is something that was posted before or answered, my search here could seem to locate any thing. The following is something that has puzzled me for some time. In the picture below the woman on the left is identified as Helene Massar out rowing on the Schwedtsee with Marga Löwenberg and one other guard. I initially thought Marga Löwenberg was the woman in the center, based on the descriptions accompanying the photographs, then some where I found something that indicated she was the woman on the right. Which one is Margo Löwenberg?
KZ - Ravensbrück - SS-Aufseherin - Massar, Helene - with Marga Löwenberg and one other guard out rowing on the Schwedtsee.jpg

I found the following picture on the internet which was cropped from the above photograph, identifying the woman on the right as possibly Gertrude Rabestein.
KZ - Ravensbrück - SS-Aufseherin - Rabestein, Gertrud - (possibly) - (unk-1970s)2.jpg
which looks very similar to a picture I found on the internet that had been signed by Gertrude Rabestein dated 11.1.1942.
KZ - Ravensbrück - SS-Aufseherin - Rabestein, Gertrud - (unk-1970s).jpg
So, if in fact the lower photograph is Gertrud Rabestein, the cropped photo of the woman on the right in the Helene Massar photograph bears a striking resemblance to Gertrud Rabestein, which would make the woman in the center Marga Löwenberg.

Any thoughts?

I have several more photos and questions I have collected, but will ask about them later. Thank you for any assistance.

What of this Aufseherin? Only identified as serving in Auschwitz and from Holland or the Nederlands. Any ideas. Thank you.

Not trying to over load anything thing or swamp the place like that other feller, but her is the last one and I'll stop for a bit. From album of Gertrud Liebetrau who served at the Arbeitslager Sömmerda an KZ-Außenlager of KZ Ravensbrück.
