BERLIN—A court in Germany found a former secretary in a concentration camp guilty of accessory to murder, the latest in a string of convictions targeting low-level members of the Nazi’s extermination effort.
In what could be one of the last criminal cases against individuals who participated in the Holocaust, the court in Itzehoe, northern Germany, handed Irmgard Furchner, 97 years old, a suspended two-year prison sentence for her role as a junior employee of the Stutthof concentration camp near Gdansk, now part of Poland, between 1943 and 1945.
