Germany's likely last Holocaust convict Irmgard Furchner has died at the age of 99. Furchner was convicted in 2022 for complicity in the murder of over 10,000 people at the Stutthof camp. She was the first woman in decades to be prosecuted in Germany for Nazi-era crimes. Time is running out to bring justice to Holocaust criminals as many cases have been abandoned due to the death or physical inability of the accused.
