  1. Most people are afraid to admit that they don't like jews.

  2. Time to convict Gates, Schwab, Fauci, Biden, WHO

  3. The only time this narrative is relevant is when little, old people are getting dragged off to prison. That is the last memory people will have of the moral center of Western civilization. This is stupid. Very stupid.

  4. I can't write what I want due to censorship

  5. What was she supposed to do when she was only 18? This is ridiculous,I’m sure she would have never done this if she wasn’t born while hitler was ruling Germany,this is not her fault at all.

  6. You see USA, now go do the same to the living people in lynching photos.

  7. What's she going to go to jail with a life sentence now? 😂

  8. Are there any other 17-year-old children forced into positions as powerless secretaries who we can prosecute for things they had no choice in?

  9. A typist gets sentenced, yet the people who approved and carried out the fire bombings of civilian population centers remain free and "heroes" at that. The fire bombings of Dresden and Tokyo are undeniable crimes against humanity, resulting in the deaths of hundred of thousands people in a single night, yet because the Allies did it, no one has ever been held accountable. The great hypocrisy of the West continues to escalate.

  10. No one saying "It was so long ago."
    No one saying "She was ONLY a secretary. She had NOTHING to do with actually killing anyone."
    So don't tell Black people to IGNORE the American holocaust here.

  11. this has gone to far! Its over its history!

  12. No one says why the polish were gased the reason is they were using witchcraft 😈

  13. But Emmitt till killer walks free with no worries…

  14. Isn’t this crazy ? Bad deed . There was a dictatorship and the child or the 18 year old had probably no control in what was going on around her. Israel moved on and has been occupying other country and taking its territory for a very long time. Can the people affected move on ? Where are the group that defend the youth and the elderly? This only talk of people with evil hearts poisoned with resentment. Get a charge on this poor old lady in a dictatorship doctrine who probably had no choice or she was brainwashed as a child is sad and ridiculous.

  15. Aggravated stenography, I guess?

  16. American and British bomber pilots killed the jews, there were no death camps.

  17. She is 97 years old. This is taking it too far to prosecute such an old woman, probably she has dementia already.

  18. Ridiculous, like a typist can stop the holocaust. Absolute blasphemy. The prosecutor and court should be ashamed of theirselves for putting this elderly lady on trial for something she had zero control over.

  19. Please, stop that nonsense, 97 years old to convict!!! After we all know and still can see a pictures president JK with a nazy much more evil than typer. What a circus. Especially real people in NY and others american's cities are not only supporting nazy but spreading and incrutiting openly online and meetings today!!!
    Let the 97 alone, idiots.

  20. Next we'll be seeing 12 year olds being incarcerated that walked by the camp in 1945.
    Will the Jews ever stop?
    And the slow genocide of Palestinians by Israel is allowed to happen.
    How sad this is.

  21. Is the city called, Its A Hoe, Germany lol

  22. yeah you can convict a 97 yo but you can't convict a neonazis walking in streets

  23. Why? Why now? Leave her alone.

  24. I’m sure she would go back to work if she was younger.

  25. Imagine defending this woman.

  26. Why not put the type writing machine, paper and pencils on trial ?

  27. Most 'holier than thou' Americans have NO IDEA about the brutual realities of living in a totalitarian regime! How did she "contribute" to the deaths when it was her job to be just a TYPIST? Maybe she was poor and on the verge of being homeless so she took the job becasue she needed the money? Only PARTY MEMBERS get the good jobs and the perks of membership, and that level of FORCED CONFORMITY exists even in America.

    So if she did protest against it what would have happened? They would have SHOT HER on the spot! What would most people do in that situation? Keep their mouth shut and just do what they are told.

    Its just a SHOW trial with Jewish backing! Are you going to charge EVERY 90 plus year old German just for being in country during the war?

  28. 👑 Is it Jeremy Clarkson in disguise ⁉️

  29. 👑 Is it Jeremy Clarkson in disguise ⁉️

  30. This comments section proves that a certain group of people have turned the Holocaust into a religion instead of a historical event.

  31. WHO'S NEXT GERMANY? The 6 year old that helped in the factory that made paper for the company that supplied it to the office whree Ms. Furchner worked – because ya know if Ms Furchner did not have a paper supplyu from a paper company then she wouldn;t have been able to do all her evil typing for the Fuhrer !!

  32. Beyond ridiculous. She was a secretary? What exactly did they expect her to do in protest?…not put postage on the letters? I mean this is insane – society has lost its mind.

  33. what about all the catholics that sent the Nazis to South America?
