Quote:Could have been ashamed of what she did and finally felt she couldn't live with it anymore. Five years after the killing, she could have said something and faced zero legal ramifications. So it wasn't a fear of jail time that kept her quiet. Could have been worried about her kids having to deal with repercussions of her decision back then. I really don't know. I just know that it was a different time when the killing occurred and that she was getting abused by a husband who was willing to murder someone.


The Nazis had soldiers who I am sure were not on board with what was going on but knew that not playing along would lead to their own deaths. I have never had to be in a situation like that so I don't know what I would have done.

I agree it could've been a host of different things that prevented her from accepting responsibly but none of them acceptable considering it was her who set things in motion. She is not a helpless bystander, she is the Genesis of the situation. If those things you mentioned were important to her it would have been better to take them in serious consideration before the fact and not after. She didn't so the least she could have done is come forward sooner. This seems less contrite.
