‘Nazi’ woman charged with 260000 counts of accessory to murder at Auschwitz

A 91-year-old woman has been charged with 260,000 counts of accessory to murder, over killings at Auschwitz concentration camp under the Nazis.

The announcement came just days after a German court said it was waiting for medical clearance before trying another Auschwitz employee, Reinhold Hanning, 93, with 170,000 counts of accessory to murder. Upon investigation, it has been found that she was working in the Auschwitz death camp complex during the Holocaust, according to The Independent. The alleged Nazi criminal assisted in the systematic murders of the Jews, that were brought from all over the Europe.

The prosecutors have stated that they believe the evidence is strong enough to indict the former Nazi.

A 94-year-old former SS sergeant at Auschwitz was convicted on the same reasoning earlier this year. The court in the German city of Kiel will also take her health into consideration, the Guardian reports.

If the case goes to trial, the woman will be prosecuted in a court for minors because she was under 21 at the time she allegedly committed the crimes.
