Furchern was convicted after judges said they were convinced she knew and "deliberately supported" the fact that 10,505 prisoners were killed in gassings at the concentration camp near Danzig.
A German court has rejected an appeal by a 99-year-old woman who was convicted of being an accessory to more than 10,000 murders for her role as a secretary to the SS commander of the Nazis' Stutthof concentration camp during World War II.
The Federal Court of Justice on Tuesday upheld the conviction of Irmgard Furchner, who was given a two-year suspended sentence in December 2022 by a state court in Itzehoe in northern Germany.
She was accused of being part of the apparatus that helped the camp near Danzig, now the Polish city of Gdansk, function. She was convicted of being an accessory to murder in 10,505 cases and an accessory to attempted murder in five cases.
At a federal court hearing in Leipzig last month, Furchner's lawyers cast doubt on whether she really was an accessory to crimes committed by the commander and other senior camp officials, and on whether she had truly been aware of what was going on at Stutthof.

She could lose her 401K over this
Now it’s time to extradite an actual nazi collaborator, Schwartz Gyorgy back to Europe to face the music 🎵.
Oh, well.
A two-year suspended sentence. Whatever will she do?
This would be a good time for her to decide she is a non-binary trans-man.
She had to know, but the militaries that captured her camp thought she was too insignificant to worry about.
She’ll probably get life.

There is now a movie and it’s gotten rave reviews.
So, yeah - not everyone trapped in Germany at the time was hell-bent on killing Jews. ;)
This lady will have fun talking over her complicity with Saint Peter, I’m sure. She’s not too far out! ;)
Meanwhile communism is responsible for 100 million deaths and counting, 4 times the amount of people the Nazis killed and we have people who think it’s cute to elect communists into congress and now the Presidency. Hey, why not, let’s try for 200 million.
In 1945 she would have been 20 years old. During the war an Austrian was executed for refusing to join the German army. I don’t feel good about her secretarial job, but I don’t know the alternatives she had available once she figured out what was going on. Regardless, I am not going to feel good about this justice either.
There is no validity to this kind of question. Anyone working in any of those death camps was aware of what was happening.
Bingo! Bingo! Bingo!
Going after this insignificant peon in the cog of Nazism is nothing more than virtue signaling. It means nothing. It's leftists throwing bouquets at themselves. This woman, who is now very, very old, once typed letters which others wrote. She didn't kill anyone.
On the other hand, Xi Jinping, the darling of the Deep State, kills hundreds each and every day, thousands per year. He persecutes minorities. He kills his political enemies. He enriches himself from the state treasury. He has global ambitions which would make Hitler blush.
Conviction as an accessory makes sense. The killing of 6,000,000 Jews out of a population of just over 9,000,000 in all of Europe required the complicity of so many not actually dropping poison into the chambers.
I had a college prof who related she always packed a full lunch sack, set next to a Jew, and left the sack. One day a guard on the bus saw it, and made it clear he didn’t believe it was an accident.
Doing the right thing in this world has always come with risks. Evil is everywhere.
God Bless Her - and I’m sure he has. *HEART*
Why haven’t they gone after George Soros?
Now do Soros!
And that’s just one communist country. We also got North Korea which is the definition of hell on earth. It is communism brought to its ultimate nightmare where the individual is reduced to mere fodder for the dictator who demands absolute and complete submission to him under penalty of death. Every time I debate commies on social media, I tell them they know nothing of communism until they live in North Korea for even a month
