Melech 9,900 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 BERLIN -- German prosecutors are investigating a 93-year-old woman on suspicion of serving as a Nazi SS guard during the Second World War and that she was involved in forcing prisoners on a march during which about 1,400 women died. Hamburg prosecutors' spokesman Carsten Rinio said Monday his office had begun the investigation of Hilde Michnia last week after a private citizen had filed a complaint against her as allowed under German law. She is suspected of serving as a guard in the Bergen-Belsen and Gross-Rosen concentration camps, and having been part of evacuating the latter camp near the end of the war and forcing prisoners to march to the Guben labour camp farther west. Michnia told Die Welt newspaper she hadn't been involved in any atrocities and only worked in the kitchens.

I mean she is 93 but she did horrible things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear 7,515 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm not sure either . What she did was awful, but would it give any retribution? Could it punish her more than she probably punishes herself? I imagine this is more likely to punish her family and loved ones more than her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Treat her how you'd treat any other Nazi imo She was old enough to know what she was doing then, she's definitely old enough to take responsibility for her actions now. Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miker 5,683 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If anything confirming her identity for atrocities committed will disgrace her name as it should do. Any kind of trial might send her into cardiac arrest at that age tho. Mars..........or bust! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
