Nazi radiographer found guilty of involvement in the murder of over 10,000

Furchner, 97-year-old, was employed as a printer at Camp Stutthof and worked between 1943 and 1945. She also remains one of the few women tried for Nazi crimes over decades, sentenced to two years in prison on bail.

Even though she was a civil worker, the judge agreed that she was fully aware of what was going on in the camp, writes BBC, follows Klankosova.tv.

Some 65 thousand people are thought to have died in terrible conditions in Stutthof, including Jewish prisoners, Polish and Soviet soldiers. Since Furchner was only a teenager at the time, he was also tried in the special juvenile trial.

In Camp Stutthof, located near the Polish town of Gdansk, several methods of killing prisoners have been used, and thousands of them died in gas rooms from June 1944.

Once the trial began in September 2021, Furchner escaped from his old home and was found by police on the streets of Hamburg.

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

The Furchner's took 40 days to break the silence in court, when she addressed it only with the words: “I am sorry for all that happened. I regret that I shot Stutthof at the time, and that's all I can say to”, Furchner said.
