I will have access to all personnel files this fall/winter.
But I think it will already be complicated to identify every single woman. It is true that there is a list of names of female SS auxiliaries who were employed at Auschwitz. But these are lists that have only been handed down. In fact, there were more SS auxiliary women at Auschwitz who were not recorded in the archives. This means that the surviving lists are incomplete. I know that.
As for Charlotte Schünzel, I don't see her on the album at all.
The man behind Karl Höcker should be all the easier to identify because many personnel files of SS members are recorded in the Federal Archives. I will apply for access to the files.
Who were the SS Helferinnen shown in the famous Hoecker album?

Important update: We have mismatched some names with the faces. Individual picture of Lotte Gramattke shared by the member @Ingnrw reveals that Lotte Gramattke is No:6.

Nr. 9 "Schoetz" seems to be correct.
She was more or less related to my family as the father of her daughter (*1945) is my uncle (brother of my father), who also was an active SS-member in Auschwitz. As he probably died in war at the beginning of March 1945 (status: "missed"), they did not mary. The relationship - organized by my grandmother - was not kept very close. Reasons for this are unclear.
