German Police Detain Former Nazi Secretary Who Failed to Appear at Trial

BERLIN—A 96-year-old woman charged with Holocaust-related crimes for her role as a secretary in a Nazi concentration camp was detained by police on Thursday after she absconded before her trial.

The trial of Irmgard Furchner was set to begin on Thursday morning but the judge issued an arrest warrant for the suspect after she failed to appear in court. Ms. Furchner had instead boarded a taxi at her retirement home near Hamburg and headed to a train station, according to the court.
