German prosecutors have charged a 91-year-old woman with 260,000 counts of accessory to murder on allegations she was a member of the Nazi SS who served in Auschwitz.
The woman, whose name has not been disclosed, is alleged to have served as a radio operator for the camp commandant from April to July 1944.
According to Haaretz, prosecutors argue that she can be charged as an accessory because she helped with the functioning of the death camp.
A 94-year-old former SS sergeant at Auschwitz was convicted of “accessory to murder” charges earlier this year.
In another ongoing war crimes case, a German court is waiting for medical clearance before trying a 93-year-old former Auschwitz guard, Reinhold Hanning, on 170,000 counts of accessory to murder.
