Ex-Nazi concentration camp secretary, 96, caught after fleeing before trial
Looking beyond the Guardian's guff about her 'being on the run' and 'fleeing', despite being 96 year old, the case is interesting.
She was an 18 year typist, hardly someone making orders, so seems vindictive to pursue her. I can understand some will have zero sympathy, but her being 'complicit in the murder of thousands' seems a stretch.
Would the Caf put her on trial?

Irmgard Furchnerwas 18 when she started work at Stutthof camp on the Baltic coast in the Nazi-occupied area of the Free City of Danzig. She was due to stand trial on Thursday on charges of aiding and abetting the murder of thousands of prisoners.
