Next, they will posthumously indict Blondi.

The boat has sailed for catching all the people and bringing them to justice, lots of them died in argentina around 1970-80. There family members may still be around, but we can't exactly prosecute them.

[IntrepidFraidyCat]

This is ridiculous. If they wanted to prosecute her so badly, they should have done it decades ago.

[Nezsem]

She tried to make a "run" for it??? 😂😂

If you don’t understand how it happened in the first place than you that’s means you haven’t paid attention to all the teachings about how and why it happened that have been taught since 1945

NEXT: Alexander the Great will finally be brought up on Trespassing in India!

[looke]

you're convicting people who won't be here in the next 10 years

Funny how the “big three (America, Soviet Union and Britain)” always point the spotlight on someone else for doing exactly what they did

[JV-NY]

Germany gets it. America still lets the Confederate flags fly

[oreoluis]

I wonder if Palestinian people will get justice in a couple of years as well. I hope they do

[globalpoliticsman]

Prosecuting those that were only secretaries or other low positions makes no sense they have not committed a crime they simply worked for people that did

[tomsperduti]

"Never Again" except in Palestine.

[PhantomOfManyTopics]

She was secretary? Why is that even a crime?

[adabit]

96 yrs of age….she got to live when so many where murdered in their youth.

[karenmessina]

18 year old secretary. Now 96. Probably not even capable of any kind of defense.

[sully]

They must of had some secret to longevity they all seem to live quite long

[jonathanbeckingham]

What does he mean we dont understand how it happened in the first place ? its obvious how it happened. He needs some knowledge on the history of Germany from the end of the first world war to the time Hitler came to power

[romaingelebart]

Thats so stupid. Arrest people immediatly not wait decades till they are 96 and them going to jail means nothing

[voiceofreason]

All 4 of my grandparents were in the concentration camps. My grandfather & Grandmother were killed.

[HH-pkwh]

Disgusting going after a 90 year old woman
