German court upholds conviction of 99-year-old former Nazi camp secretary

While administrative employees like Furchner are less close to the crimes than high-ranking officials, they still knowingly participated in them. Providing administrative assistance to mass murder counts as serving as an accessory to mass murder. In her role, Furchner participated in work that led to the deaths of thousands of people. She should be held legally accountable for this.
It is ridiculous that someone who workeddid small administrative tasks at a desk like reading, writing, and sorting correspondencecorrespondences should be charged with the murder of thousands of prisoners. Furchner has long maintained that she was unaware of the murders that took place at the camp and had no contact with the prisoners. This elderly woman should not be punished for crimes she did not commit, just because she was a secretary as a teenager.
