A German federal court is set to deliver its verdict on Tuesday regarding the appeal of a 99-year-old woman who was convicted of being an accessory to over 10,000 murders during her time as a secretary to the SS commander of the Stutthof concentration camp in World War II.
The woman, identified as Irmgard Furchner, appealed her conviction after being found guilty by a state court in Itzehoe, northern Germany, in December 2022. She was accused of aiding the functioning of the camp near Danzig, now Gdansk, Poland.
