Itzehoe state court in northern Germany said on Wednesday that both the defence for Irmgard Furchner and a lawyer for a co-plaintiff filed appeals to the Federal Court of Justice.
Irmgard Furchner is the first woman to be tried in Germany for Nazi-era crimes in decades in what prosecutors have said could be one of the country s last trials over Holocaust crimes.
The shocking testimony came in the ongoing trial of 97-year-old Irmgard Furchner, a former secretary at the Stutthof concentration camp during World War II.
Speaking during the trial via videolink from the US, Asia Shindelman described the horrors she witnessed at Stutthof camp in Nazi-occupied Danzig, now in Poland.
Irmgard Furchner, who has been dubbed the secretary of evil , was photographed in the Itzehoe courtroom on Tuesday clutching her cane as she listened to a witness testimony.
