In states that execute by firing squad or hanging, reasons why the condemned person usually forced to wear a blindfold or hood regardless of their wishes

It’s always better when is the person not in the eye contact with the executioner. For the inmate it’s better to keep calm and for the executioner to carry out the execution well. It’s a tradition that during these kinds of execution they cover whole inmates face by mask.

Firing squad

Actually the person who is shot by firing squad must face horrible when he is dying. Before the execution it’s better for the inmate to not see everything and it helps him to keep calm and don’t know when the shot will come. And for the executioner it’s better because he is not disturbed by facing of the inmate. Be sure that inmates don’t always die immediately after the shot. Unfortunately the executioners can also shot the inmate right into the head so it’s better for witnesses not to see all damages of the face.

Hanging

Death caused by hanging doesn’t come so fast like when is the person shot. Be sure that a face of a hung person is a terrible picture so for those reasons they often cover inmates heads by a cloth bag. Then it depends if they want to execute the person by a long drop (to break his neck) or short drop (to stop breathing). For a short drop this is more important because the inmate can be death after 20 minutes. So for this whole time it’s good to cover his face not able to watch it because the face must be horrible.

But in the past there were many executions when they didn’t cover eyes. They wanted to frighten other people and show the horrible picture of a hung person.

Electric chair

It’s also a standard requirement for inmates going on the electric chair. They have a mask covered his face because during the electrocution their eyes can pop and the skin can burn including face.

Gas chamber

Also in the U.S. gas chamber were inmates blindfolded because they suffered in there a lot and the execution also would be much more cruel if they didn’t cover inmates eyes.

Personally, if I was going to be executed, I would also ask for covering my face!

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

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 Locals played a very important role in the mass shootings committed by the Germans in the Baltics and the USSR. In some cases, locals would instigate their own pogroms against Jews once the Germans arrived. Otherwise, local citizens would help the Einsatzgruppen and other units locate Jews in the immediate vicinity and then either assist with or participate in the mass killings. One of the facts that I learned about the Holocaust from my grandfather that has stuck with me even up through today is that we’ll never know truly how many died or who they were. There were people that were murdered, and not only were they murdered, but EVERY SINGLE PERSON that knew them, EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HAD EVER known them, were also murdered.  Try to imagine that. Every last human being you’ve ever come in to contact with, murdered.  Tha...

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’). ...
