Even though her husband is dead & died before he found out about her Nazi Concentration Camp work I feel so deeply saddened for him that he was married to this itchba. If I were his relatives, I'd PDFQ go to the grave & have the headstone replaced so that itchba's name isn't on it any more.
I know some out there (b/c I've heard the same in re to other "elderly" Nazi cases & it is referred to by her lawyer) are thinking/saying something like "BUT she is 84 yrs old & has lead a decent life since the end of the war." Well I say SO BLOODY F'N WHAT. At least some, like Ratzinger, can TRY the excuse that their service to the Nazi's was forced but in this case this itchba VOLUNTEERED to work there. IMHO, it's even worse that she didn't do it b/c she believed in the "cause" but instead did it for $$$$$$$. Her lawyers says that "she was totally embarrassed". Well, Awww Poor Woman. /sarc/
In a different link I read that she admitted said she never applied for citizenship b/c she was afraid immigration would learn of her time at Ravensbruck. Also notice, she was STILL lying to friends, relatives & acquaintances up to & incl the day she left, as well as, accepting $ from them for her flight for Pete's sake. IMHO, all these years all she was doing was "hiding in plain sight" by marrying a Jewish man that had fled Nazi Germany. She isn't the only one to do that tactic either. Heck, I've even heard of some cases of where Nazi's & their wartime minions (those that worked for the Nazi party w/o actually joining--no diff btwn the 2 types as far as I'm concerned -- both types = evil) created new (false) Jewish identities...they'd changed their name & went to Temple & so on in order to escape justice.
Also, If it were up to me she WOULDN'T even be allowed to re-enter the USA EVEN IN DEATH. May she rot.
Well, you certainly have strong feelings on the subject. BTW, welcome to FreeRepublic.
LOL, why don't you just say what you really mean.
I know three people who were Nazis. They don't hide it. At the time they felt it right and now they're willing to live up to their deeds.
She was 84 and I think the statute of limitations should have run out on her crime about 10 years ago. The authorities ought to have her to write an extremely groveling apology and then leave her alone. Revenge may be sweet, but sometimes it's stupid.
Did you read the part that when people showed up at certain job applications if they didn't take the job - they became part of the camp?
I understand there are lifelong consequences for thing and typically advocate being responsible for ones own behavior - but I think God has to judge this woman.
Former nazi guards are the only people Buchanan doesn't want deported from America.
Why can we deport a woman who has been in the United State--legally--for 60 years for being a Nazi--rightfully, but we can't deport a single illegal alien?
That and your name makes one wonder if you've been here before.
That's what happens when your country loses a war. - tom
Well, as I live and breathe. You mean there IS actually something a person can do that makes them ineligible to be in the United States? Well, that means we only have to wait until all the 'cell' Muslim terrorists are finally in their 80's and we can order them out. Frickin unbelievable that we can let hundreds of thousands of Muslim thugs stay and one old lady has to go - and I say good riddance to her!
I wonder what good she has done here, what she has done to stand next to the sorrow of her past.
Don't get me wrong, if she is guilty, then she was right to confess. But after 60 years, I pray she's accomplished something of worth. She certainly had long enough.
I don't get the impression she was a guard, in the sense of being armed and tasked with preventing escapes. I would think it unlikely they would put a woman in that job. It seems like her job was to take care of the dogs.
Pope Benedict XVI was born on April 16, 1927. Do the simple math. He was a school boy during the war years.
Bet she was a Democrat too.
