An elderly woman was assigned by the Nazis as secretary to the SS commander of a concentration camp during World War II. Who has now been convicted of being an accessory to murder? Irmgard Furchner, 97, was part of the campaign, which planned to dispose of the camp's prisoners.

Irmgard Furchner, who assisted in the administration of the camp, has been convicted of aiding and abetting the murder of 10,500 people. In her work as a stenographer and typist in the camp commandant's office, the woman aided and abetted the camp authorities in systematically killing prisoners between June 1943 and April 1945.

In Germany, Irmgard Furchner was sentenced to two years by a state court. Furchner told the court that she regrets what happened and that she was forced to do so. He was tried in juvenile court because he was under 21 at the time.

More than 60,000 people were killed there by lethal injections of petrol or phenol directly into their hearts, by shooting, or by starvation. Others were forced outside in the winter without clothing until they died of exposure or were gassed to death.
