Irmgard Dirksen just turned 18 when she took up a job on June 1, 1943, which, 78 years later, accused her of having helped mass murder - as a secretary and typist in the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig.
The young woman served as a civilian typist in the commandant's office and reported directly to the long-time camp commandant Paul Werner Hoppe.
"The entire correspondence with the SS-Wirtschaftsverwaltungshauptamt went through my hands," she said in a witness hearing in 1954 in Lübeck.
There was undisguised pride in her work at the top of the warehouse hierarchy.
Hoppe had dictated her letters and telex and gave up radio messages, she told the examining magistrate at the time during the interrogation.
If that is true, reports of deaths from the camp and transport lists of trains that drove with prisoners to Auschwitz also went over their tables.
She signed writing with "Di".
So was the young secretary a Holocaust helper?
Did she help run the murder machine with her desk work?
