Jews, and many non-Jews were tattooed during the Holocaust in order to identify each individual. It was Hitler's way of keeping tabs on it's population through the selection process, (ridding Germany of undesirables like Jews, Gays, etc.). Each number had it's significant meaning, for example: 01234567. The "0" was possibly the persons RACE. Number "1" meant the person was good for LABOR. Number 2 meant the person's religion, and 3 possibly meant the person is headed for the GAS chambers. It was a simple system but needed a state-of-the-art managing mechanism. That mechanism was developed by IBM, (Industrial Business Machines). The only way to identify an individual was to check the Tattoo, on the persons arm, and compare it to the "Punch Cards", developed by the Nazis and with help from the U.S. Today, our Government is using more advanced identification for it's population.
