To attempt an answer to that question, one must make a distinction between the trials taking place immediately after the German capitulation in the different occupied zones, and those that were subsequently held in Nuremberg under new international law.

Les femmes ont-elles été jugées pour des crimes perpétrés pendant la période nazie ? Pour tenter de répondre à cette question, il convient de faire la distinction entre les procès qui se sont déroulés très vite après la capitulation allemande, dans les diverses zones d’occupation et ceux qui se font à Nuremberg, selon un nouveau droit international. Les seconds visent des criminels ayant un degré de responsabilité dans les divers appareils de l’État nazi, responsabilité alors interdite aux femmes. Les premiers, qui se font selon le droit déjà établi, concernent ceux qui ont commis de leurs propres mains des violences meurtrières. On apprendra donc par cet article que de très jeunes femmes furent condamnées à mort et exécutées pour les crimes qu’elles ont commis dans les camps.
