I always thought the Nazis tattooed the Jews because they believed that Jews with tattoos could not be buried in a Jewish cemetery.
Tattooing served several purposes:
- It reduced the Jews and others to mere "units" to be processed without names
- It was a direct violation of Jewish cultural norms on the defacing of the body
- It re-enforced the prisoners fears that the Nazis could do whatever they wanted without hindrance
- It was a constant reminder of their low status
- It allowed easier record keeping for the death camps

No, the only Jews to be tattoed were those selected for work at Auschwitz. Those killed on arrival at Auschwitz were not tattooed. The Auschwitz group of camps tattooed all prisoners selected for work and was the only group of camps to use tattoos. There is a lot of misunderstanding about this as the tattoo has become one of the leading 'icons' of the Holocaust. As a result of the iconic status of the tattoo some people have gone to great lengths to look for sophisticated, but inaccurate, explantions. (See above)
