What did prisoners at Auschwitz have tattooed on their arm?
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. So, the Germans tattooing the mostly Jewish prisoners was a sick joke almost, as it would not allow them to enter their heaven or to even be buried in a Jewish cemetery as this is not permitted.
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.
What were the numbers on Jews arms called?
Several methods of identifying prisoners were used in concentration camps, with tattoos only being used at Auschwitz. There was no set name for these tattoos.
How were Jews singled out?
Since the number of prisoners entering the camp were increasing by the day, sometimes by hundreds, the Nazis started tattooing them upon arrival on their left breast. Next to their number which was tattooed by an interchangeable metal stamp, they tattooed a symbol to indicate their nationality. Jews were tattooed with a triangle next to their prison number.
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?
