A 97-year-old German woman is given a two-year suspended prison term over her role as a secretary at a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.
Irmgard Furchner has been sentenced for her role at the Stutthof concentration camp during World War II.abc.net.au/news/german-woman-convicted-of-nazi-war-crimes/101795572A 97-year-old German woman has been convicted of being an accessory to murder for her role as a secretary to the SS commander of the Nazis' Stutthof concentration camp during World War II.
The sentence was in line with what prosecutors had sought, while the defence had called for her acquittal. Defence lawyers argued the evidence had not shown beyond doubt that Furchner knew about the systematic killings at the camp, meaning there was no proof of intent as required for criminal liability.
In her closing statement, Furchner said she was sorry for what had happened and regretted that she had been at Stutthof at the time.
