A 4 year old Jewish boy, Istan Reiner, smiling for his portrait shortly before he was executed in Auschwitz, 1944


“This photo shows 3-4 year old Istvan Reiner from Miskolc, Hungary, taken in the ghetto before he was deported to the Auschwitz death camp. He died in the gas chamber in 1944, a few days after the photo.⁣⁣

In the short moment when the photo was taken, he did not yet know what fate awaited him, he happily posed for the camera, as any boy of his age would do.”

They generally didn’t take photos of victims who were heading straight for the gas chamber at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The cattle cars would be unloaded and selections would begin. Those thought capable of working or being useful in some way were separated out and headed for processing, which included photos. Everyone else was immediately sent to be murdered.

I tried researching this picture but information is scant. It was donated by the boy’s half brother. The USHMM says it was taken “shortly” before being murdered. Its unclear how long “shortly” is. It’s possible he was processed as a prisoner and then was later selected to be gassed, which happened quite often. For example, a prisoner could be processed and then fall ill several days later, which could cause them to be selected for death.

I’m blind and missed the biography at the bottom of the page on USHMM’s website. Istvan and his grandmother were immediately murdered at Auschwitz. His mother, father and half-brother all survived the Holocaust. His father and half-brother were not deported to Auschwitz but were instead deported to a labor camp.

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
