Nazi Stutthof Concentration Camp
Seventy-six years after the end of World War II, German prosecutors charged a 95-year-old woman on Feb. 5 with “conspiring with the Nazis and helping them kill more than 10,000 people” for her role as secretary to the commander of the Nazi Stutthof concentration camp during World War II.
According to the Epoch Times website, prosecutors in Itzehoe, Germany, said the woman served as secretary and stenographer to the commander of the Stutthof Concentration Camp from June 1943 to July 1945, during which Time she assisted the Nazis in the systematic murder of more than 10,000 Jews, former Soviet prisoners and Polish commandos.
The statement did not name the elderly woman, but said she was not yet 18 when she committed the alleged crime, so the case will be heard by a juvenile court.
Local media said the woman, Irmgard F, is currently living in a nursing Home north of the city of Hamburg.
The prosecution began investigating the case in 2016 and prosecuted her after hearing testimony from many witnesses who now live in the United States, Israel and other countries, and carefully examining the woman’s work in the camp that year to determine her exact role in the camp massacre, the newspaper said.
Statistics show that about 65,000 people were killed in the Stutthof concentration camp.
Thirteen cases related to the Nazi concentration camps are currently being tried in Germany; last summer, Bruno Dey, a 93-year-old former guard at the Stutthof concentration camp, was convicted of assisting in the murder of 5,232 people during World War II.
