Because she is said to have helped to systematically kill inmates in the former Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig, a 90-year-old woman now has to answer before the youth chamber of the Itzehoe district court.
Specifically, the woman is accused of having provided those responsible for the camp with the systematic killing of the detainees. In her function as a typist and personal typist for the concentration camp commandant Paul-Werner Hoppe, she is said to have known about the murders. She worked in the camp between June 1943 and April 1945. The prosecution accuses the then adolescent of complicity in murder and attempted murder in more than 11,000 cases.
The National Socialists murdered around 65,000 people in Stutthof and the sub-camps. The now 96-year-old Irmgard F. currently lives in a nursing home in Quickborn (Pinneberg district).
The youth chamber is responsible
The 3rd large youth chamber of the Itzehoe regional court opened the main proceedings on Friday. The proceedings are being heard by the youth chamber because the defendant was 18 or 19 years old at the time of the act and was therefore an adolescent within the meaning of the Youth Courts Act. The main hearing will begin on September 30, 2021.
