German woman, 93, probed for role as SS guard
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA 93-year-old woman in Hamburg is under investigation for her role as an SS guard during a Nazi death march.
The investigation of Hilde Michnia was announced today by the Hamburg prosecutors’ office.
Also today, prosecutors in the city of Luneburg say they will try former Waffen-SS member Oskar Groening, 93, in April for his role in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
Groening, of Hannover, Germany, has acknowledged that he was a guard at Auschwitz but said he did not personally commit any of the atrocities. Some 20 Auschwitz victims and their families are co-plaintiffs in the case against him.
