Federal Court of Justice hearing a case of revision of former concentration camp secretary Irmgard F.
F. worked as a stenotypist for the commander at Stutthof camp near Danzig from 1943 to 1945. The SS had imprisoned more than a hundred thousand people there under appalling conditions, with approximately 65,000 dying. The regional court was convinced that F., through her work, had supported the main perpetrators in cruelly killing prisoners or attempting to do so. A verdict is not expected to be reached on Wednesday, with one anticipated in August.
The regional court's conviction stemmed from F.'s role as a stenotypist, which allegedly aided the main perpetrators at Stutthof camp. The case will be heard at the Court of Justice, seeking justice for the victims of Stutthof.
