“It’s not nuts. As secretary, she would likely have seen documents indicating that Jews were being killed in the camp. She’s an accessory to atrocities and needs to pay.”
And what, exactly, could she have done about the situation?
Called the SS?
Oops, the SS was running the camps.
Called the Gestapo?
The Gestapo would have thrown HER into the camp. After torturing her of course.
Perhaps the local Burgermeister?
He would have turned her into the Gestapo for spreading false propaganda.
Also consider that she would have been indoctrinated in the schools and the Bund Deutscher Mädel, League Of German Girls, to follow orders and directions without questioning them. That Jews and others were sub-human and were the enemies of Germany.
Quite frankly, she DIDN’T KNOW any different.
“I was just following orders” didn’t work at Nuremberg, and it won’t work now.
