Trial Of 96 Year Old Former Nazi Secretary
A former secretary at a Nazi concentration camp has been captured after trying to flee before her trial in northern Germany. Irmgard Furchner, 96, charged with complicity in 11,000 murders, fled her care home and failed to turn up at court. She has since been discovered and arrested and is awaiting trial.

The question is should she stand trial after all these years and at her advanced age - or is it too late?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Really difficult, as it's a unique situation and so long ago. Asking her for information, which may be useful- maybe.
The question is, what is the benefit of charging her? Is she at risk of doing it again? Has she physically murdered 11,000 people, or was she in a position where she could only do as she was ordered?
Justice... really means "fairness". I would leave her alone, as the circumstances, hopefully, won't be repeated anyway.

// Khandro, many a stenographer is regarded as a secretary. Why are you harping on about that? It's irrelevant.//
nope - relevant - fr'instance
court stenographer writes down the oral evidence even tho there is a recording device - but is clearly NOT a secretary to anyone
secretary - as khandro know as a man of the world - is much more than that.
obvious to anyone who speaks English innit?

// Khandro- a person who doggedly pursues an irrelevancy.//

Danny one of the usual suspects....
I was musing as an intellect often does....
The German typist secretary bird who typed the last list of the now empty camp at Westerbork 1944 - Holland that is boys and girls
If she just typed these are on the train: 1) Antoine van Arden etc.... Astrella Aaland....
would she be complicit in the deportation and death of Anne Frank ( who yes boys and girls was on the last train oudda Westerbork)
and you know I think the answer is - - of course not

// English word definitions is irrelevant innit?.....//
yeah but no but....
IF - the wording is such that they are guilty in German Law - and innocent as a new born baby under the English law and interpretation
then we are allowed to say - she aint done much
arent we
which is kinda odd for a war crime
and should Make Us Think whether this is Justice delayed
or blood lust

pixie - // What are you on about, khandro? Do you think there is an advantage or benefit anywhere... if she is now charged? What are you trying to teach her? //
As I have pointed out previously, if you start with a statute of limitations based simply on age, which crimes do you apply it to, and at what age does it kick in?
Rather than having to start pondering the moralities of answering those questions, is it not better to apply to law fairly and without favour?
That means, if someone is brought to court for a crime, and tried by due process, their age does not come into it, and that way, everyone is treated in the same way - which is fairly.
And that is how good laws operate.
