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’). The latter had been found to have hidden weapons including firearms that he planned to use in an uprising. He and his associates were all hanged.

Why PJ Harvey Is a Muse for Our Times

Why PJ Harvey Is a Muse for Our Times PJ Harvey is a fashion muse like no other because her influence extends beyond what she wears to what she stands for. The British singer, who moved to London to study sculpture at Central Saint Martins but signed a record contract instead, burst on to the indie scene in the early ’90s. A woman, in a man’s world, she has consciously played with her femininity from the start. Raised in a bohemian household in Dorset, Harvey was a tomboy until her teens, when her rebellion took the form of “buying Duran Duran records instead of listening to Captain Beefheart.” Her insurgence continued in the city: In April 1992, a month after a sitting in which Harvey pointedly showed her aversion to shaving, she appeared topless, with her back to the camera, on the cover of  NME . In the video for “Man-Size,” Harvey wears underwear and a top printed with faces including Marilyn Monroe’s. “I’ve always enjoyed dressing up,” admitted Harvey, who has penned song...

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn. Between East and West Germany, the west was much more Nazi. Prominent Nazis made a concerted effort toward the end of the war to surrender to the Western allies who would treat them better, and were then incorporated into government and military command. You didn't have people like Adolf Heusinger, Franz Halder, or Hans Speidel running around in East Germany. You didn't have leadership like Adenauer pushing to halt denazification in East Germany. Saying all the nazis "switched hats and went to communist East Germany" is like saying males produce estrogen. Sure they do a tiny bit, but is that really the gender you associate with estrogen? One of the facts that I learned about the Holocaust from my grandfather that has stuck with me even up throug...

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...
