...from a West German political prisoner who claimed to have been "unfairly and wrongly" convicted by her countrymen in a 1951 war crimes trial, members of the European Commission on Human Rights not only rejected the plea but also damned it as a "manifest abuse" of their time. The appel lant: Lifer Use Koch, 54, better known during World War II as the "Bitch of Buchenwald...
