'Secretary of Evil', 97, who worked at Nazi camps that killed 11,000 to be spared prison

A former concentration camp secretary accused of involvement in the murder of 11,380 inmates will likely not go to jail.

Prosecutors have said they would seek a suspended sentence for Irmgard Furchner, 97, who was a typist for the commandant of the Stutthof concentration camp, near the Polish port city of Gdansk.

Furchner is one of the last living defendants to be tried for crimes committed by Nazi Germany. Despite being almost 100 years old, she is on trial in a juvenile court as she was just 18 at the time of the alleged crimes.
