Former Nazi ‘Secretary of Evil’, 97, Speaks Out for the First Time
New York Post ^

Posted on 12/07/2022 1:53:13 PM PST by nickcarraway

The former Nazi death camp secretary on trial for her complicity in the murder of more than 10,000 people broke her silence for the first time this week, saying she was “sorry” for the horrors inflicted on prisoners.

“I’m sorry for everything that happened,” Irmgard Furchner told the Itzehoe Regional Court on Tuesday. Now 97, Furchner was a secretary at the Sutthof concentration camp in Poland from June 1943 through April 1945.

Under German law, any person who helped Nazi death camps operate, even if they did not work directly on the site, can be held responsible as an accessory to the crimes committed there. Furchner is the first woman to be tried in Germany for Nazi-era crimes in decades.

For perspective: 10,000 people is about 3 days’ worth of abortions here in the U.S.

She was a secretary that decided nothing and wasn’t even an adult.
What a pantload.

I’m sure as a 15 year old woman, all here would have single handedly killed all the Nazis and freed the prisoners.

“I’m sorry for everything that happened,” Irmgard Furchner.”

Not yet you aren’t. But you will be.

Yeah, she wasn’t exactly Germany’s version of Rosa Klebb.

No fetus has ever survived out of woman’s body during first trimester. Therefore it was the woman’s choice what to do with her fetus l, depending on circumstances. I do not condone abortions as an alternate form of birth control.

On the other hand almost all fetuses in the third trimester survive outside of the woman’s body. Aborting those is premeditated murder in my opinion.

“You know God?”

Any God I want any part of would toss this monster into the pits of Hell on principle.

Allow me to edit and correct the comment in the article, to more accurately state:

Furchner’s protracted trial is emblematic of Germany’s ongoing effort to reconcile the harrowing legacy of the Holocaust. Orchestrated by Adolf Hitler, the reign of terror saw the murder of:

a) at least 6 million Jews, as well as

b) 5 million:

- Polish civilians
- Soviet civilians
- Ukrainian civilians
- Belorussian civilians
- German civilians
- Balkan states civilians
- Czech civilians
- Romanian civilians
- Hungarian civilians
- Dutch civilians
- French civilians
- Italian civilians
- English/GB/UK combatants and agents
- U.S. of America combatants and agents
- POWs (of several other nations, regions)
- Roma
- homosexuals
- Jehovah’s Witnesses
- Christians
- plus hundreds of thousands of people who were accused BECAUSE: “THE AUTHORITIES and ARROGANT BUREAUCRATS COULD CONDEMN” almost anybody.

Yep, them too.

Now 97, Furchner was a secretary at the Sutthof concentration camp in Poland from June 1943 through April 1945.

During this period she was between 18 and 20 years old.
