Naked performance artist Milo Moiré is back. This time, the controversial Swiss artist’s performance entailed taking selfies with tourists in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and it landed her in jail. Moiré spent the night in lockup on charges of public indecency.

The artist set up her camera on a tripod in front of the tourist attraction and approached strangers, inviting them to pose for photographs with her. She recently did the same performance in Basel, Switzerland, during the Art Basel fair. The previous year, she tried to get into the fair naked as a performance, and she crashed a museum show called “the Naked Life” in February.

This time, the performance was cut short when the Parisian gendarmerie ordered her to put her clothes and and took her into custody.

The artist’s manager, Peter Palm, told the Telegraph, “She was taken into custody, had her rights read to her, fingerprints were taken, photographed and detained in a cell.”

According to French law, showing genitalia in public carries a maximum sentence of one year behind bars and a fine up to €15,000 ($16,580).

Interestingly, nudity is normally tolerated by French authorities if it is part of a performance. The arrest indicates that France does not view her as a legitimate artist.

Moiré’s previous antics include squeezing paint-filled eggs onto a canvas with her genitals.

Last year, South African performance artist Steven Cohen was also arrested for sexual exhibitionism following a naked art performance at the Eiffel Tower. He was released without being fined. Luxembourgian performance artist Deborah de Robertis bared it all in 2014, when she exposed her genitals in front of Courbet’s painting The Origin of the World.

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’). ...

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...
