Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp
Heise worked at the camp until January 1944 when she accompanied a transport of women to Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp on the outskirts of Kraków. She remained there until she was assigned to guard the death march to KZ Auschwitz-Birkenau west, ahead of the Soviet offensive. From there she guarded a prisoner evacuation train in October 1944 to the Neuengamme concentration camp near Hamburg, Germany. In November 1944, Heise was promoted to "Oberaufseherin" and sent to Obernheide, the subcamp of KZ Neuengamme ("Lagerbordell" operated there since spring of 1944 with full staff).
