Among the vast documentation of the Auschwitz Camp are documents showing that the camp’s dentistry collected and submitted to the camp’s Political Department, on regular intervals, gold and other precious metal alloys originating from tooth fillings.

During the Second World War, all inmates admitted to any kind of camp of the Third Reich had to have their hair shorn and kept trim during the entire time of their incarceration.

For “educational” purposes, the local population was forced to walk by this table and hear a U.S. official in uniform explain…
Attentive observers have noted items or facilities at the so-called death camps that seem entirely inappropriate, and which in fact suggest a much-more benign usage of those camps. The brothel at the Auschwitz Main Camp is one such item, and the “zoo” at Treblinka is another. Then we have the barber shop, dentist, and shoemaker…
