A 91-year-old woman faces charges for being an accessory to the murder of 260,000 Jews in a NAZI concentration camp in Auschwitz.
The woman, whose name was not made public due to German privacy laws, allegedly worked as a radio operator for the camp commandant.
In a report by Vice News, the woman belonged to an all-female unit that assisted the NAZI SS in death camps. According to Heinz Doellel, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, the woman would most likely be tried at juvenile court because she was under the age of 21 when she allegedly committed her crime.
Doellel also said that the court in the northern German city of Kiel, where the woman will be tried, is unlikely to decide whether to move forward with the case until 2016.
The woman is not the first former NAZI member charged for being accessory to murder in Auschwitz.
A court in West Germany is said to be waiting for the decision if the 93-year-old former Auschwitz guard Reinhold Hannings is fit for trial.
Hannings is accused of working for NAZI as a guard at Auschwitz between 1942 and 1944.
The lawyer of Mr. Hannings said to the court that his client is not fit to stand in trial, that is why the court is still waiting for several weeks to have the health assessment delivered.
Hannings denies the allegation of being an accessory to the murder of 170,000 people, and said that he was assigned to a part of the camp that was not involved in the mass murders.
In a BBC report Oskar Groening, on the other hand, was already sentenced to four years of imprisonment for being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 Jews.
Groening, also known as the 'bookkeeper of Auschwitz' was in-charged of counting the banknotes confiscated from the Jews before they went to the gas chambers.
