Irmgard Furchner, a 99-year-old former secretary at Stutthof, lost her appeal against a conviction for complicity in over 10,000 murders, affirming her role in the Nazi regime's atrocities.
The Federal Court of Justice ruled that Furchner's work as a stenographer directly contributed to the camp's operation, declaring that she "deliberately supported" the systematic killings that occurred.
Prosecutors indicated that Furchner's case may represent one of the last trials linked to the Nazi era, though investigations into other related war crimes continue in Germany.
Furchner's lawyers questioned her awareness of the atrocities at Stutthof, but the court maintained that she had knowledge of her involvement in the crimes.
