Itzehoe - Second attempt for the trial for aiding and abetting murder in more than 11,000 cases: After the 96-year-old defendant initially fled on the first day of the trial, the indictment is now to be read out on Tuesday in her presence before the Itzehoe district court.
This will be ensured within the framework of the legal possibilities, said a court spokesman for the German press agency.
Irmgard F. worked from June 1943 to April 1945 in the command office of the German concentration camp Stutthof near Danzig.
As a typist and typist, she is charged with helping those responsible at the camp with the systematic killing of prisoners.
According to the central office in Ludwigsburg responsible for investigating Nazi crimes, around 65,000 people died in the Stutthof concentration camp and its sub-camps as well as on the so-called death marches at the end of the war.
The trial against F. takes place in a youth chamber because the defendant was only 18 or 19 years old at the time of the crime.
The trial is considered to be one of the last possible Nazi trials in Germany.
The criminal chamber has set trial dates until the beginning of June next year.
