Two guards at the Buchenwald concentration camp, show were captured and beaten by prisoners the day it was liberated, 1945
Located in Central Germany, the Buchenwald concentration camp was one of the largest camps in Germany, and it was operated from 1937 to 1945. The camp had 139 subcamps. It was initially built to imprison suspected communists, however, it soon became a death camp for anyone who was not considered to have ideal characteristics for a future German empire. 

Jews, Poles and other Slavs, the mentally ill and physically disabled, political prisoners and Romani people as well as homosexuals were all tortured and killed there. Roughly 54,000 died there, with nearly 300,000 people being imprisoned throughout its entire operation. 

Some of the atrocities at the camp were so unbelievably brutal, that some of the camp operators and guards were arrested for cruelty. A place, that's purpose was to kill people, was investigated for being overly cruel to prisoners. Wrap your head around that. An example of a person who was arrested for such brutality was Ilsa Koch, who gained the name of "The bitch of Buchenwald". 

The camp was liberated in 1945. It was then used by the Soviets as their prison camp and it was run by the NKVD. Roughly 7,000 people would die there while it was under Soviet control.

The guards above got off lightly this was the extent of their beatings. Some guards in indifferent camps were beaten, stomped and bludgeoned to death by prisoners. If my memory serves me correctly, I read that on one occasion, a guard was even lit on fire and roasted to death.

news anchors do not wear panties

News Casters, especially Black Fenales, wearing dresses with their breasts showing cleavage, tight form fitting dresses that accentuate their buttons, and overdone makeup. They look as if they're ready to pole dance, while the men wear suits and ties. I am appalled. This is just a continuation of the oversexual portrayal of black women, in America. I am a black female Looks like.. Reasons why Albanian TV news anchors going braless during live TV Faced with tough competition to win over audiences, an Albanian TV channel is taking a literal approach towards giving viewers the " naked " truth -- by employing almost-topless newsreaders. Wearing open jackets and nothing underneath, the young women reading the headlines on Zjarr TV are an unprecedented sight in the conservative Balkan country, where they first appeared on television and Internet screens last year. The channel's owner says audiences haven't stopped growing since you can click here to watch the video

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’). ...
