    I read a story about a woman whose job it was to sort the clothes. She would put on rags from the other prisoners & go to work. There she would exchange her clothing & shoes for better stuff & then go back to her place & give the new clothes to the other prisoners . She did this her entire stay so others would have good & warm clothes.
    Very brave lady

    My great-grandfather was a prisoner in KL Buchenwald. I found his documentation in archives and it said he was a political prisoner (after the Warsaw Uprising), but they kept him alive because he was a qualified metalworker.

    A registered nurse that I worked with in the 60s and early 70s had been a prisoner in one of the well-known camp. She got tears in her eyes when talking about getting a bag of potatoes for everyone to eat in there and what a treasure it was.. Nothing else, but a potato, but they had been so hungry with nothing to eat…. potatoes were gourmet to them. I can still see her talking about this and the horrible things that they went through. We must never forget.

    Here’s some more info I found on the meanings of the different color triangles:
    Red triangle - political prisoners: social democrats, liberals, socialists, communists, anarchists, gentiles who assisted Jews; trade unionists and Freemasons
    Green triangle - convicts and criminals (often working as kapos)
    Blue triangle - foreign forced laborers and emigrants.
    Purple triangle - primarily Jehovah’s Witnesses (over 99%) as well as members of other small pacifist religious groups.
    Pink triangle - primarily homosexual men and those identified as such at the time (e.g., bisexual men, trans women) and sexual offenders as well as pedophiles and zoophiles.
    Black triangle - people who were deemed asocial elements (asozial) and work-shy (arbeitsscheu), including Roma and Sinti.

      Absolutely true. Research the corporations and banks that helped them launder money. Prescott Bush the father to one president and grandfather to another was involved and had to pay out alot of money to avoid prosecution for helping them. It's a very interesting rabbit hole once you start looking into it.

    I worked at a psych hospital in the late 90's. It was in westchester ny. We had some floridly psychotic patients come in, and one had a large amount of bugs on them. After delousing, i felt absolutely contaminated. I went to the mall and had my head shaved as i was going to meet up with a girl after work. When I came back, multiple dr s and social workers said i looked horribly intimidating. A dr who didn’t usually come in said, "he looks wonderdul, and you know who he is. Stop being obnoxious. With that, everyone was silent. I said thank you. She patted my leg and stood up. As she did for the dirst time, i noticed the tattoo on her arm. It was the dirst time i saw someone with a concentration camp tattoo. I have to admit. I nearly burst into tears. And im not a cry in public kind of cat.

    My great-great-grandfather was actually a prisoner in this concentration camp for not wanting to fight in the war. He and his brother escaped from the frontlines but while his brother had the 'excuse' of marrying his wife, he himself didn't have enough reasons not to fight and was sent to Neuengamme. After the war, he died of a sickness he caught there. A few years ago I visited with my class and before that my grandma told me about this, makes the topic even heavier if you know your own family was affected.

      @@Alonzi. America was supposed to join France so that it wouldn't have to pay taxes. Then it would have become like Europe. But here in France the ministers staged a coup. The king was removed and we got Napoleon. But the ministers themselves went to America and built the Capitol. The sale of Louisiana was used to finance Napoleon's crowning himself emperor and attacking us. This was not financed by American settlers but by a Barings Bank. Jesse James then robs the banks because the government is robbing us.

    Those with pink triangles were likely persecuted by other prisoners, but never those who wore purple triangles, who always tried to be kind and supportive....as they could be anyway. Interesting because the Bible that they followed so stoically, condemmned homosexual acts. Acts, not the people.
