A district court in Germany issued an arrest warrant for a 96-year-old woman on Thursday, who was due to stand trial on Thursday. She is accused of collaborating in thousands of murders in the Stutthof concentration camp, where she worked during World War II.
Irmgard Furchner was arrested on Thursday after being arrested in the German city of Itzehoe, where she was to stand trial. The trial was adjourned until October 19. The charges cannot be brought in her absence. Holocaust survivors, some from this camp, were also to testify in court.
