Did only Jews have numbers tatooed onto their arms at Auschwitz or were Polish political prisoners also forced to have numbers as well?

All prisoners who were forced labourers at the Auschwitz complex of camps had a number tattooed on them. Tattooed numbers were not used at other camps.

Why were prisoners tattooed at the Concentration Camps?
1. According to a Holocaust survivor that came and spoke at our school, there were two people at a table, one held the person's arm down and told the other man the number. The second man picked up an instrument that looked like a stick with a needle at the end. He would use the needle and trace the numbers in the skin, and then rub ink into it. 2. The Nazis tatooed prisoners in the camps because it was one of their ways to make you feel inhuman. They tatooed you and made you like everyone in the camps. They tatooed you so it was easier on them to count prisoners and keep track of you. Add comments, -round Rupert 3. The Nazis were also very aware of the way in which many Jews blindly followed their religion. (As a sheep would follow a Shepard) Many religions teach you that your body is your temple, hand sculpted by God himself and to mark it is a horrific sin. Many people believe it was used to keep track of the prisioners. While this does hold SOME truth, it is filtered out again with the main attraction the Nazis had been seduced by from the very beginning, dehumanization. Afterall, aren't our cattle tagged before they are sold?

Details of the Holocaust?
Everything about the holocaust? I'm afraid that you have asked an impossible question. There is so much about the holocaust that nobody on Earth can answer now. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I can not tell you everything. I can, however, tell you some things that others maybe can't.First of all, the basics:When did it happen? Between 1939 and 1945 ( although people were persecuted long after the war, and the suffering of those who were persecuted is ever-lasting )Who did the Nazis persecute? Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, mentally and physically desabled people, black people, Jehova's Witnesses, and anyone who tried to help these people escape)How many people were killed? Nobody really knows the exact numbers, but it is estimated that eleven million people were murdered. Six million of these people were Jews, and 1.5 million were merely children, maybe more, because many children lied about their age, in order to increase their chances of surviving.What were the Nazis trying to do? Create a pure "Aryan" race. The sterio type of an Aryan is a strong, tall, blonde haired, blue eyed person. A steriotypical Jew was short and stout with curly black hair and hook noses. How were the Jews treated? Like vermin, or parasites. Like lab rats, or diseased pests.How did the Nazis persicute Jews? They shippd them off to consentration camps and death camps, took away their rights and citizenship, kicked them out of their houses, and stuffed them in trains and ghettos, expelled children from their regular schools, marched them into fields and shot them into pits, took away all their posessions, and publicly demoralized them.How did Jews escape? Some lucky ones managed to hide in basements, cellars, old barns, in the forest, or down in the sewers for years until the war ended. There were some survivors of the camps. Many Jews tried to convert to other religions, but thaty was soon outlawed.What is the difference between a death camp and a concentration camp? A concentration camp, such as Auschwitz or Treblinka is a labour camp, where prisoners are kept as slaves (it usually also had a gas chamber for the sikly and for children or elderly who were too weak to work). A death camp, such as Belzec, is not a labour camp. There are survivors of Auschwitz, there are survivors of Treblinka, but there are no survivors of any death camp. This is because it is strictly for death, and there are no prisoners- all victims are simply gassed to death upon arriving. I actually don't have uch more time to write this, so let's do this in point form. Sorry for lack of detail. Josef Mengele (or the Angel of Death, or Uncle Mengele) was an evil scientist who worked at Auschwitz concentration camp. He thoroughly enjoyed his work conducting gruessome experiments on little children, particularly twins and gypsies. He was in charge of pickiing which prisoners were healthy enough to work, and which would be gassed to death. The chemical used to gas Jews to death at Auschwitz was a type of rat poison called Zyklon B. The bodies of prisoners were usually burned in "kremas" or thrown into mass graves like the one in Bergen Belsen Camp. At the camps, prisoners were usually worked to death. They got so little time to rest that it was impossible to have energy. They received only tiny rations of moldy bread and watery, rotten cabbage soup. All prisoners were given a number that was tatooed on their arm, that became their name. all the boys and men had to wear striped pajama and ill fitting shoes, and women wore old work clothes. They never were allowed to change. Many died of typhoid fever and dehydration or froze to death. Accesive lice was unavoidable. In Auschwitz one of the first things one notices is the haunting cheery music that was played by the emaciated prisoners. This music was to make the newcomers feel welcome before they were gassed or worked to death. Sorry, more later.
