A new investigation of an 85-year-old woman living in Vienna who worked as a warden at a Nazi concentration camp is said to be in the offing in the wake of the Austrian justice ministry's receipt of new evidence against her from the Polish Institute for National Remembrance (IPN).

The woman worked at the Majdanek camp in Lublin from October, 1942 until January, 1944.

After the war, she came to Vienna and acquired Austrian citizenship.

Austrian court proceedings against the woman in the 1970s reportedly came to naught.

Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff appealed to the Polish government in February, 2006 to request extradition of the woman to Poland, which has no statute of limitations for war crimes.
