77 years after the end of the Second World War, a German court today imposed
two years of suspended detention
on a
97-year-old former concentration camp secretary
:
Irmgard Furchner
is accused of complicity in more than
11,000 murders
in the Nazi camp of
Stutthof, in present-day Poland
.
What concluded today in the court of Itzehoe, in northern Germany, is one of the latest trials for Nazi crimes.
Prosecutor Maxi Wantzen said Irmgard Furchner was guilty of complicity in the "cruel and malicious murder" of more than 11,000 people.
