I'm curious what she actually did at the camp.
"Get executed for her crimes" apparently wasn't one of them, so its time to fix that.

There's been legal cases where people are let off due to old age. Also tons of legal loopholes have allowed lots of worse injustice to prevail in this world.


Yeah man but whataboutism has no place in justice. If something is wrong it's wrong. If you take that to it's logical conclusion murdered shouldn't be convicted because some get away with it? Not on board for that sorry.

So given the finite resources we have to expend on the legal system, why even bother with trying an old woman Nazi for?

Because it's important to remember the tragedies that happened and that even after 75 years it's still wrong.

I don't disagree with your points about it being used inconsistently by the way. It definitely is and Nazi's are an easy (albeit obviously deserved) target. But that's more a case to push for more consistency than it is to let the nazi's go free.

She's a German citizen who's been charged by a German state prosecutor's office in connection with crimes whose victims included other German citizens. But apparently some fuckwits here think she shouldn't be charged because the state prosecutor's office hasn't charged anyone for Pol Pot's crimes in Cambodia. Jesus Christ.

there's no 'villian' in this world. All humans are villians. Just depends whether they're aware of it or not

I don't understand why anyone blusters about the failure right up until today to prosecute the perpetrators of other mass atrocities before, during and since WW2, but then totally undermines their own position with the argument that "if they've got away with it for this long, it seems kind of unfair to charge them now." A card they pull from the bottom of the deck only for the benefit of former Nazis.

I completely agree that in a sense, elderly Nazis are a soft target because you can safely prosecute them without the need to confront awkward questions about aspects of your own country's foreign policy over the last twenty-odd years. Witnessing how the French authorities allowed genocidaires from the former Hutu Power regime in Rwanda to live comfortably and with virtual impunity in France over the last quarter of a century makes French breast-beating and soul-searching over French complicity in the Holocaust seem like a parody of guilt.

But that's no reason for Germans, or anyone else, to give former SS concentration camp staff a get out of jail free card. We're not in some contest to see who can dish out the most exemptions from justice for the most appalling crimes -- we should be doing the opposite, as Izual said in post #157.

You think she deserves death? Prison for the rest of her life is better (she'll probably be dead before the trial ends anyway)

On the brighter side, there probably won't be any more topics like this in a couple of years' time.
