What arm was the number on during the Holocaust?
NUMBERSAlthough details are not complete regarding treatment of the holocaust victims, it seems that not all of them had their bodies marked with a number. Also, of all the concentration camps in Nazi Germany, it appears that only the Auschwitz group of camps (e.g. Auschwitz 1, Auschwitz 2 (Birkenau) and Auschwitz 3 (Monowitz) actually implemented prisoner numbering in a systematic way. This began in 1940, and at first the number was sewn onto the prisoner's uniform.Body marking did not start until 1941. The number was written or tattooed maybe on the chest, the back, or the left forearm; some were marked on the leg. Sometimes the number included a letter prefix to indicate the 'type' of prisoner. For example, the prefix 'AU' was used for Soviet prisoners of war. Those destined for immediate execution were often not marked with a number.BADGESStarting with Poland in November 1939, and then spreading to ther countries under Nazi domination, all Jews were legally requierd to wear badges which identified them as belonging to this particular religious/ethnic group. As an example of the seriousness of this law, the Jewish Community Council of Bialystock in 1941 warned the community that "severe punishment -up to, and including death by shooting-, is in store for Jews who do not wear the yellow badge on back and front."In the concentration camps, other badges with different shapes and different colors were introduced to identify other groups. They were worn on the chest or on the arm, sewn to the fabric of their coats, on the left side.For more details, and documentary photographs, see 'Related links' below this box.

What is the Prisoners of War POW's?
Prisoners of War are enemy soldiers who are captured by your army. The Geneva Convention established certain rules and rights regarding how to treat POWs.A soldier who breaks the law and is punished with imprisonment is not a POW.In the United States, the law requires that a person can only be a POW if the US is at war against his country. This had become a topic of great controversy as the US has captured many accused terrorists even though we are not at war with their country. But a terrorist will not identify himself as your enemy in most cases.

What is a difference between the way Nazi prisoners VS Japanese prisoners were treated in the World War 2 camps?
Aside from things like living conditions, food provisions and killing of prisoners of war, a big difference was the issue of forced labor. Nazi Germany never introduced forced labor for its (Western) Allied prisoners-of-war, while Japan did. A major cause of the very big difference in the general treatment was, that Germany treated captured soldiers simply as people who had fought and lost, while japan considered and treated Allied soldiers who had surrendered as people who had lost their honor and in consequence, any right to humane treatment. This shows in the fact that Germany had signed and largely adhered to the Geneva Convention regarding prisoners of war, while Japan never signed it, except for the treatment of wounded prisoners, the only kind of prisoners who in their view had retained their honor.
