WWII Nazi guard may face charges

A 83 year old women has recently been found in the United States and has been sent back to Germany. Elfriede Lina Rinkel never told her husband that she was a Nazi guard. The interesting twist in this story is that her husband is a holocaust survivor.

The U.S. was surprised to find her. One, She has never told anyone that she was a guard. Elfriede moved to the United States in 1959. She admitted that she had been a guard in a women's camp the last 10 months of the war. Germany will now hold her on trial for being a guard.

I think that it was wrong of her to be a guard but that was in the past. I am not really sure if they should even put her on trial and possibly give her the death sentence just because she is so old and it was so many years ago. What she did was wrong but should she still be punished. I am unsure about that one.
