Ed Gein, nicknamed "The Butcher of Plainfield," isn't the only person to have fashioned household items from the remains of his victims. Ilse Koch, once called "The Witch of Buchenwald," also allegedly hand-picked Jewish prisoners and turned their bodies into lampshades. While these allegations remain unproven in court, Koch's cruelty is still legendary, which is why she plays a small yet important role in the Netflix series Monster: The Ed Gein Story.
