In perhaps the last ever Nazi war crimes trial, Irmgard Furchner attended court for more than a year as prosecutors outlined their case against her.He said the defendant was found guilty of aiding in the murder of 10,505 people, along with five cases of attempted murder in the Stutthof concentration camp.
Prosecutors say she"aided and abetted those in charge of the camp in the systematic killing of those imprisoned there between June 1943 and April 1945 in her function as a stenographer and typist in the camp commandant's office". Furchner largely refused to answer questions during the trial but said in her closing statement that she was sorry for what had happened and regretted that she had been there at the time.
