A district court in Germany has issued an arrest warrant for a 96-year-old woman due to go on trial on Thursday on charges of complicity in murder at the Stutthof death camp during World War II, court officials say.
Irmgard F., who prosecutors say worked as a secretary at the camp form 1943 to 1945, left her home on Thursday morning by taxi and went to an underground station, a spokeswoman for the Itzhoe district court said. Her whereabouts are unknown.
The woman has been charged with complicity in the murder of more than 11,000 people and attempted murder in several more cases.
