Reasons why hanging such a popular method of execution When there are many more effective ways of executing someone

Hanging, as anciently instituted, was very simple and effective; all it required was a rope and a tree limb, and several men to haul on the rope. No particular skill was needed by the hangman; just physical strength and the ability to tie knots. If the body was not lowered by rescuers, death was certain. And the dangling body served as a deterrent to other criminals. Other forms of execution — beheading, archery, etc — required more skilled executioners and did not have the deterrent effect of the dangling body in full public view (a bodiless head on a gate, e.g. was not as visible as a swinging human body.) The execution itself was also a public spectacle; because the victim was raised above the ground (as in “hang ’em high,” ) the moral lesson was more visible to crowds than e.g. a head rolling off a body at ground level. Hanging has been a popular method of execution historically for several reasons: Availability and Simplicity: Hanging is a relatively simple method of execution 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.

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’). ...
