How Germany is prosecuting its final Nazis —now in their 90s or older
New York Post ^ | August 6, 2022 | Isabel Vincent

When she appeared in a German court last month, Irmgard Furchner sat in a wheelchair clutching her handbag. Her mask and kerchief made it difficult to see the face of the 97-year-old — who has been charged with more than 11,000 counts of “aiding and abetting” murder during the Holocaust.

The nursing-home resident was a secretary in the commandant’s office of the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig, and is now among the latest former Nazis to be prosecuted in Germany.

The defendants are in their late 90s or even centenarians, but German prosecutors and a Nazi hunter are determined that they face justice for the murder of six million Jews.

Well if they want more we in America have a lot of them.

Many are in politics. Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer are just a few.

Call me cynical, but I’m inclined to think that this article is showing up now in order to give credibility to the blacks who are storming retirement homes looking for the 90-something woman who was the center at the Emmett Till lynching.

...for the murder of six million Jews.

Eleven million concentration camp victims, including Jews.

Was it black people who did that, or white progressives?

Prosecuting an secretary?

How about hunting down some... Any of the Stasi that tortured innocent Germans who just wanted to be free?

...Germany is prosecuting its final Nazis...

What about all the muzzards they let in?

They're just as "Nazi" as the originals....maybe even more so.

Well, if they’re going after 90 year old Nazis...George Soros is 91 years old.

What a farce. If those who suffered through the period the atrocities were committed didn’t think secretaries and 18 year old prison guards were appropriate targets for prosecution immediately following the war, what gives any of those who weren’t even alive during the war the moral right to?

This is nothing more than the leftist State trying to keep the Nazi boogieman alive.

I am appalled by how many of the leading Nazis got off light. I’m talking about major criminals who were sentenced to long prison terms, then were released a few years later because of “ill health”. They then went on to live on for many more years. Adm. Raeder is an example of this.

But prosecuting a secretary? I suppose she knew what was going on in the camp. But so did the guy who delivered food to the camp. I’m just not seeing it.

If Germany or the USA were serious about prosecuting Nazis, they would demand full accountability from Argentina, Chile, Brazil and other South American Countries that allow thousands of Nazis to move about freely in their countries after the war and lived a normal life, many using their given names and not some alias.

Soros has paid off almost every politician in the Congress so he cannot be touched.

Yeah. I don't think so. Prosecuting secretaries or 18 years old conscripts. That ain't it.

Yep. Either go after Soros, or STFU.

Many leading Nazis escaped to South America with the help of the Catholic Church. Not one of the Church’s best moments, obviously.
