German prosecutors have charged the elderly secretary of the former SS commandant of Stutthof concentration camp with 10,000 counts of accessory to murder, arguing that she was part of the apparatus that helped the Nazi site function.

The 95-year-old also faces an unspecified number of counts of accessory to attempted murder for her service at the camp between June 1943 and April 1945, said Peter Mueller-Rakow, spokesman for prosecutors in the northern German town of Itzehoe.
