Damn. I really want to see a continuation of this piece.
Would you: A.Bring her to trial? B.Nothing. C.Take revenge (I'm assuming the person was hunting her down).
By the commentary, A is the actual answer.
Damn, this image puts me in a moral dilemma. I always think about the hunting of war criminals a mix of real justice and propaganda, even more when they're about commanders or military personnel: I believe a lot of them just follows orders and must obey, or they are going to face either prison or death.
My option would be investigate her more. Know about her post-war live, her living style and her teacher records. But what I would know about war criminals.
Did she really reformed and/or is atoning for her past (thus why she is looking after those children)? Or is she still the monster she was during the war and just thought she could pull of a Karma Houdini by pretending to be a good citizen and hiding as a kindergarten teacher, using those children as a shield?
For me that is the difference between letting her go and doing nothing or dragging her to a trail/execution.
That little girl hugging her from behind seems to love her so much though...

And remember that evil in reality is just ordinary people with monstrous ideas. Virtually anyone can hug children while also mercilessly torture prisoners of war or participate in ethnic cleansing. And especially for commanders they always have more power to defy or at least defect in the face of such orders. Being right isn't always easy, but consider Hugh Thompson Jr's story who helped stopping My Lai Massacre.
I think this might be Romanian, and knowing what happened to Communists after the fall of the Romanian communist party, I think I can guess what's going to happen next.
