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.
