Can a Jew be buried in a Jewish cemetery if they have been tattooed by a Nazi concentration camp?

Any Jew with a tattoo can be buried in a Jewish cemetery. It doesn't matter if it's a Nazi tattoo or Mickey Mouse's face. It's just a myth that Jews with tattoos can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery.
This myth arose because there are a few Orthodox cemeteries that will not allow burial of people with tattoos, but these rules are cemetery rules, and not Jewish law.

Was Wyatt Earp Jewish?
According to an article by Larry Tritton on the website jewishjournal.com (Looking For a Legend), Wyatt Earp was NOT Jewish. He is buried in a Jewish cemetery because his wife was Jewish and Wyatt had expressed a wish to be buried next to his wife. He died before his wife did, and she had him buried in a Jewish cemetery, presumably because that is where she intended to be buried. All the articles on the internet indicate that Wyatt is buried in a Jewish cemetery, but none of them state that he was Jewish, or that he converted to Judaism.

Prisoners in the camps were tattooed for two reasons. Firstly, it was their "Prison ID Number", and second (and more cruelly) it is against Jewish law to become tattooed or to desecrate ones flesh.
