LAST UPDATE: 11/17/2022
The taking of evidence was continued in the main trial against a former civilian employee of the Stutthof concentration camp. The court read written testimony from survivors of the Stutthof concentration camp. Since the chamber still has to decide on new applications made by the parties to the process, the taking of evidence has not been completed today.
The trial will continue on Monday, November 21, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. For this date, among other things, the further reading of a written testimony of a survivor is planned. In the event that the court rejects the applications for evidence and no further applications are made, the public prosecutor's office could make its plea on November 22nd, 2022. Otherwise, the taking of evidence will continue.
It is pointed out that every accused person is considered innocent until a final conviction.

Irmgard Furchner: Nazi typist guilty of complicity in 10,500 murders

 

The whole thing reeks.

 

on the otherhand one could argue that we never forget

 

The money and effort it took to convict a 97 year woman speaks more to German optics than it does true justice.

I wonder how far removed you need to be to no longer be seen as complicit?

 

Why it takes nearly 80 years to bring these b*stards to court is beyond me.

 

The Stutthof case continuous. The German High Court will now look at the case of the 97 year old former secretary.
