Typist in a Nazi camp, 97-year-old woman found guilty of complicity in 10,500
Irmgard Furchner

A 97-year-old woman who worked for the commandant of a Nazi concentration camp has been convicted of complicity in the murder of more than 10,505 people.

Irmgard Furchner, started working as a typist in Stutthof when she was a teenager and stayed there from 1943 to 1945.

Furchner, who is one of the few women to be tried for Nazi crimes in decades, was given a two-year suspended sentence. Although she was a civilian employee, the judge accepted that she was fully aware of what was happening in the camp.

Around 65,000 people are thought to have died in the inhumane conditions at Stutthof, including Jewish prisoners, non-Jewish Poles and captured Soviet soldiers.

At Stutthof located near the modern Polish city of Gdansk, a variety of methods were used to kill prisoners and thousands died in its gas chambers from June 1944.

When the trial began in September 2021, Irmgard Furchner ran away from the nursing home where she was staying and was found by police on a street in Hamburg.

Stutthof commander Paul-Werner Hoppe was imprisoned in 1955 and released five years later.

A series of prosecutions have taken place in Germany since 2011, after the conviction of former Nazi camp guard John Demjanjuk set the precedent that being a guard was sufficient evidence to prove complicity.

This decision also meant that civilian employee Furchner could stand trial, as she worked directly with the camp commandant, handling correspondence about Stutthof prisoners.
