A German court has convicted a 97-year-old woman of involvement in the murder of more than 11.000 people while working as a typist in a Nazi concentration camp in World War II, broadcaster NDR and other media reported.
The district court in the northern town of Itzehoe gave Irmgard Furchner a two-year suspended prison sentence. He was sentenced under juvenile law due to the fact that he was only 18 at the time of the crimes.
He worked in the Stutthof concentration camp in the period 1943-1945.
The start of Furchner's trial was delayed until September 2021 when she eluded arrest. But he was arrested a few hours later.
About 65.000 people died of starvation and disease or in the gas chamber at the Stutthof camp near Gdansk, in present-day Poland during World War II.
