A French woman accused of being a German collaborator has her head shaved and paraded naked through the streets of Paris. August 1944

After France was liberated by the Allies, many women were taken to the streets where they were publicly humiliated.

These women were accused of “collaboration horizontale”. Their heads were shaven, as to take away their most beautiful traits. Some would be painted on their naked bodies with tar or lipstick, but all of them would be paraded in the streets.

Most of these so called collaborators were simply young women who had slept with the occupying Germans. Some would even be put on parade with the babies they concieved from the Germans. Some had to sleep with Germans to get food, others fell in love, and some were forced to. To the French it mattered little, as all lf then would be categorized as traitors and would be publicly humiliated. The Allies and even some French were disgusted by these acts.

These actions also happened in Belgium, Italy, Norway and the Netherlands. (Though in Netherland it wasn't as widespread.)

James Burton - William Marwood’s last execution

James Burton - William Marwood’s last execution. William Marwood travelled to Durham for the execution of murderer and bigamist 33 year old James Burton on the 6th of August 1883.  He had met 18 year old Elizabeth Ann Sharpe the previous summer, while both were patients in Sunderland Infirmary.  They married at Sunderland Register Office and set up home in North Durham Street in Sunderland.  However Burton was already married. Elizabeth left him because of his foul temper and use of the drug laudanum, an opiate. Burton could not come to terms with her rejection and stalked her.  Finally he battered Elizabeth to death out of jealousy on the 8th of May 1883.  Her body was found beside the railway track at Tunstall, near Sunderland.  Her head had been smashed with a rock and three large rocks placed on top of her body. Burton was arrested the next day and his clothes were found to be blood stained.  He denied all knowledge of the murder and maintained tha...

This is how long the average prisoner live once he arrived in Auschwitz before taking them to the gas chamber

Auschwitz was large but not the worst of the camps; it most probably was the most well known It was a labor camp. Prisoners were worked to death. Those arriving WERE sorted into those groups that could be used for work and those who were considered worthless: children, the old and sick. These were sent immediately to the gas chambers to be liquidated. So they were there maybe an hour before being killed. In 1941-1942 the extermination camps in Poland, Sorbibor, Chelmo, Treblinka, Belzec were used to empty the Polish Jewish ghettos. Understand that the word “concentration” meant where the Jews and undesirables were gathered or concentrated for subsequent elimination. There was a vast dislocation of people in the wake of the Nazi invasion of Poland and the Soviet Union. Millions of Jews were concentrated in sections, ghettos of cities and then were rounded up and ship to extermination camps. These camps were constructed away from major cities and from the time a train arrived with a load...

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’). ...
