German Court Upholds Conviction of 99-Year-Old Former Nazi Camp Secretary

Irmgard Furchner's appeal rejected for her role in the murder of over 10,000 prisoners during World War II.

• Furchner was convicted as an accessory to over 10,000 murders at the Stutthof concentration camp.
• The court's decision is final, upholding a two-year suspended sentence given in 2022.
• The case is seen as one of the last trials of Nazi war criminals due to the advanced age of suspects.
• Prosecutors argued that administrative roles also contributed to the functioning of the camp's killing operations.
• Jewish leaders in Germany welcomed the ruling, emphasizing the importance of justice for Holocaust survivors.
