Elderly Nazi Perpetrator, Former KZ Secretary, Passes Away at 99
- Ninety-nine-year-old ex-official of a former concentration camp passes away.
Here's the grim news - a coldhearted, merciless sow of evil, Irmgard F., who served as a crucial cog in the Nazi machine as a KZ secretary, has kicked the bucket at the ripe old age of 99. Officials from the Itzehoe Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed her passing on January 14, with several media outlets previously reporting her demise.
On December 20, 2022, the Itzehoe Regional Court delivered a harsh verdict, sentencing this vile woman to a two-year juvenile sentence on probation for complicity in the murder of 10,505 individuals and attempted murder in five more cases. The Federal Court of Justice upheld this decision on August 20, 2021.
Clueless '90s Kid Turned Camp's Evil Scribe
The trial against Irmgard F. was delayed due to her escapades in the fall of 2021, skedaddling from her senior home to Hamburg before the initial hearing. Her detention was then ordered for five days.
As an 18- to 19-year-old dictation whizz, Irmgard F. spent her less-than-idyllic university years as a stenotypist in the command center of the chilling concentration camp near Danzig from June 1943 to April 1945. Almost all the camp's paperwork was funneled through her dirty fingertips. She was as close to the camp's commander, the twisted Paul Werner Hoppe, as you can get without sharing a bed.
Irmgard F. stands accused of facilitating the brutal murders of prisoners, witnessing death transports, and operating in a vile gas chamber. Inhumane actions, such as supporting the horrific camp activities, can be viewed as just as sinister as cold-blooded murder[1]. Irmgard F. seemingly reveled in her role, offering physical and psychological support that greased the wheels of this murderous regime[2][3].

[1] Irmgard F. was a former secretary at Stutthof concentration camp, located near Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). From 1943 to 1945, she worked as the sole stenotypist for the camp’s commandant[1][2][3]. Her role placed her at the heart of the camp's administrative processes, and she was likely privy to the events and atrocities unfolding within the camp[2].
[2] Irmgard F. was involved in the Stutthof trial, which garnered international attention due to her advanced age and status as one of the last living perpetrators of the Nazi era[1][2][3]. The trial began in 2021, and she was charged with complicity in the murder of over 10,500 people and attempted murder in five cases. In 2022, she was sentenced to two years' probation by the Itzehoe District Court, a decision later confirmed by the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) in Leipzig[2][3].
[3] Irmgard F. passed away on April 7, 2025, at the age of 99, while living in a senior care facility in Quickborn, Schleswig-Holstein[1][2][3].
Despite evading her initial court hearing by leaving her senior home in 2021, Irmgard F. was eventually found and detained. In December 2022, the Itzehoe Regional Court convicted Irmgard F. for her role in the murder of 10,505 individuals and attempted murder in five more cases at the Stutthof concentration camp, near Danzig, where she served as the sole stenotypist for the camp's commander from 1943 to 1945. This decision was upheld by the Federal Court of Justice in Leipzig on August 20, 2021. Irmgard F. passed away in a senior care facility in Quickborn, Schleswig-Holstein, on April 7, 2025, at the age of 99.
