If you are reffering to the numbers on their arms, The "tattoos" were used as serial numbers for not only the Jews but others who had been put in Hitler's concentration camps. It was a way to treat them like property and to try to "keep them in line"

No it was a form of identification, because their clothes contained a serial number for identification. However, when they were murdered and their clothes were removed then they had no record of them. The tattoos were only given to those who were sent to work and not those sent straight to the gas chambers.
