Nazi concentration camps, torture. The most terrible Nazi concentration camp

Man has always wanted to make a place for all his needs as comfortable as possible. Ordinary citizens decorate it with tiles, hang flowers on the walls and enjoy the comfort. This, of course, is not enough for owners of round sums in their bank accounts. Some of them even organize competitions among themselves - who can arrange a latrine in the most unusual way (for themselves, and especially for clients - to show off). However, is it really possible to call such works of art that are born in the wild heads of well-paid designers with such a prosaic word? We have made a selection of the most creative public toilets in the world. And you decide for yourself whether you would like, so to speak, to think about the eternal in such interiors.

1. Gold toilets

The simplest thing that the human mind could come up with is a toilet made of gold. For just $5.7 million, the designer from Hong Kong managed to metaphorically demonstrate the frailty of material values. True, the owners of the art object are not at all alien to healthy greed. The miracle toilet is located in the premises of a jewelry store, and if you have a certain generosity (you need to buy expensive jewelry for at least $200), you can even use it for its intended purpose.

For such a toilet, appropriate hygienic accessories are required - even if they are purely symbolic. And they exist.

Would you say it's fake? But no. This roll, which contains 22 carat gold, can actually be purchased from specialist Australian toilet and plumbing supermarket Toilet Paper Man. I tried. And after entering all the necessary data (oh my God!) the PayPal window opened to pay for the purchase! Thinking that it would be better to buy an apartment in Moscow for 1.3 million dollars (if I have them, of course, from somewhere), I pressed cancel. But someone won’t press...

2. Shopping closet

When a person is freed from the burden of small needs that has long bothered him, he perceives advertising messages much more positively. At least, this is what marketers at one of the shopping and entertainment centers in Germany think. The toilet in it, firstly, attracts representatives of the stronger sex in itself, and secondly, new collections of underwear are unobtrusively demonstrated here. They say that after a man visits such an establishment, it is much easier for a lady to “promote” him for an expensive purchase.

3. Erotomania from Frankfurt


Photo: www.omgsoysauce.com

These German architects went even further. What half-naked mannequins are there! There are urinals in the shape of ladies' mouths. By the way, in some European cities, the courts prohibit the use of this part of the female body (symbolic, man-made, of course) for such base purposes. However, some citizens like to visit such closets. Perhaps this is how they assert themselves.

4. Show yourself...

This is a much more innocent establishment. But for the male sex, it’s probably pleasant. Although it is difficult to say what is pleasant about conducting this... process in front of witnesses - albeit fake ones. But men know better.

5. Women only

The world will never be the same again. You understand the truth of this statement especially when looking at such devices. Attempts to create a comfortable “standing” urinal for ladies (especially for feminists who did not want to come to terms with sexual differences in such an intimate process) have been made since the 20s of the last century, but there has not yet been much success in this difficult and inexplicably necessary path. managed.

All the representatives of the fair sex I interviewed had two questions when they saw this photo: “Why?” and "How?" Some, however, said that it was better to wait until home. I agree.

6. A Nerd's Dream

You stand there, watering the flowers... San Francisco designer Clark Sorensen created similar urinals specifically for romantic men. These “flowers” ​​cost from 6 to 13 thousand dollars. Even at this price they are in great demand. Apparently there are enough nerds in the world.

7. The game never ends

This game closet was presented at one of the high-tech plumbing exhibitions. It is clear who it is intended for: such people simply cannot waste their precious time dragging themselves to another room, and then back. Fortunately for the parents of Russian gamers, the “toilet + Xbox” set costs exorbitant amounts of money, so similar toilets can be found in single copies around the world. Although the owners could well save money: the toilet does not have to be separated by gender - people definitely won’t look at each other.

8. "Elevator" for night "snipers"

When darkness falls on the earth, and the forces of evil rule the swamps... No, not like that. When dusk falls on the streets of London, these “heroes” come out of the ground, called upon to protect the surrounding courtyards and gateways from citizens who are impatient. And since there are plenty of beer bars around, the service is in great demand. The system is called Urilift. In the morning, the dry closet goes back down and doesn’t remind you of itself.

9. Panic Room

The other side of Clark Sorensen's work. These are not romantic faience flowers; there is mocking brutality and subtle political allusions.

Only the lazy did not mock George W. Bush when he was president among intellectuals. Now this is no longer so relevant, there is a new hero in the White House, but they say that urinals are still popular even in America.

10. He drew on the sand...

Sand has nothing to do with it, but anyone can really “draw” in this conceptual closet. The thermochromic toilet caused a big stir among connoisseurs. When heat hits the wall, the blue color changes to orange. Thus, a banal toilet can be turned into a truly colorful and fun procedure. It’s a pity that the project has not yet been implemented somewhere other than design exhibitions.

11. Shall we play some music?


Photo: files.adme.ru

This invention is also built on the contrast of the beautiful with the base. However, those who wish can try to extract some notes from such an outlandish thing (I wonder where the drain is?) - naturally, so to speak. Yes, this is not Schubert, Mozart or Bach, but after such a “concert” you probably come out very inspired.

12. Silent Witness

And so that girls don’t get bored, a mobile “assistant” was invented for them in Japan. It turns almost any dull bathroom into a very interesting place. You just have to be careful in the dark, otherwise you’ll suddenly see such a nimble fellow - you might not even need a toilet.

13. Korean toilet architecture

The "toilet house" and the adjacent park of toilets in the city of Suwon quickly became one of the most famous attractions in South Korea. The former mayor of the city built these 419 square meters of steel, glass and white concrete for himself and his family. This is not surprising: this creative husband is the chairman of the World Toilet Association. Why should he build standard five-story buildings? After Shim Jae-duk's death in 2009, the toilet house was turned into a museum. Anyone can familiarize themselves with the history of plumbing in the world here. This is especially interesting for children. Mr. Sim himself considered the toilet a place where culture should also reign.

15. Entertainment for the poor

In many countries there are poor settlements (so-called Shanty Town). They consist of barracks created from old plastic, cardboard and other similar materials. They often lack basic living conditions: sewerage, electricity, gas. But people, even in such circumstances, try not to lose heart.

This toilet is located in one of these makeshift towns in New Zealand and simply charges with the positivity that people so need in difficult living conditions.

15. Finally: I take everything I own with me.

Well, it’s simply impossible not to mention this vehicle:

This unusual motorcycle was developed by the famous Japanese company TOTO. The cute girl behind the wheel is Akiko Matsuyama, an official representative of the Toto company.

TOTO toilets equipped with electronics can do a lot. These include heated seats, lighting, music, some models can even do a urine test.

But Toilet Bike NEO was created specifically to draw attention to the problem of environmental pollution. How? By its design. The fact is that the biofuel (if you can call it that) for the “iron horse” is produced... by the driver himself. In addition to the fact that the motorcycle processes human waste products, it can also play music and talk about topics common to its owner. So you definitely won’t be bored with such a vehicle.

This is not written in history books. During the Second World War, when the genocide of the Jewish people took place, the highest German officials had unusual toilets where they could satisfy their needs.

Jews were brought straight from Auschwitz who, for some reason, the commander did not like or were very guilty.

The prisoners were chained at the urinal and there they remained until the end of their days without food or water. But that was only half the problem, any German working at the headquarters could come and urinate directly on the prisoner, throw a smoldering cigarette butt at them.

In such terrible conditions, few could hold out for long. When a prisoner died or simply became unfit, he was taken off the chain and simply thrown into a pit like garbage.

Of course, there are no links to any authoritative sources; one of the primary sources for this story is a group in Odnoklassniki https://ok.ru/chertovo.logovo/topic/66049527414895 and YouTube channel (video above)

IN THE OPINION OF THE EDITORS, THIS IS ANOTHER FAKE STORY

But here is a more plausible story about the abuse of captured Jews by the German Nazis:

HOLOCAUST IN THE TOILET OR NEW EVIDENCE OF UNUSUAL NAZI ATROCITIES

New evidence of Hitler’s abuse of Jewish prisoners continues to emerge. Accounts presented in a recent report by the Association of Former Nazi Concentration Camp Prisoners reveal the hitherto unknown fact that during the Second World War, prisoners at camps such as Auschwitz, Ravensbrück and Chelmno were prohibited from using toilet paper. In return, the SS forced the prisoners to use sandpaper, which was real torture for the latter.

As a result of the forced use of sandpaper, many prisoners developed serious skin irritation in their private parts, however, when they sought medical help, the SS doctors simply laughed at them. “I could hardly sit, and going to the restroom every day was pure torture,” recalls Leon Wrundelman, now an Israeli citizen. - The rash on the skin bled from time to time, but every time I asked for help, the doctors began to laugh and make sarcastic jokes about it. They sometimes even waved clean toilet paper (which they could use) in front of us to further humiliate and torture us.”
Thousands of prisoners reportedly died as a result of the use of sandpaper.
German researchers have discovered photographs from World War II that show stacks of industrial sandpaper being loaded onto freight cars for transport to concentration camps. Other photographs show empty railroad cars before sandpaper was loaded onto them.

Documentation recently reviewed by the Simon Wiesenthal Center (WSC) clearly shows that the sandpaper manufacturer that supplied orders to Nazi Germany - a Swedish company, a subsidiary of the American company International Industrial Paper Supply (IPPP) - knew for which purposes, this paper is used, but still continued to supply it. A CSV spokesperson said that their Center, in conjunction with the World Jewish Congress and the International Federation of Jewish Representatives, will begin filing lawsuits against both the subsidiary and parent corporations for their complicity in the Holocaust. According to preliminary estimates, the amount of damage caused will be approximately 18 billion US dollars.

A representative of the American concern IPPB voiced a brief comment on the discovered facts: “We are deeply shocked and saddened by this deplorable activity of our company during the Second World War,” said Thomas Pupkins. - The meeting of the company’s ruling council that took place recently ordered the organization of meetings with Jewish representatives and associations of Holocaust survivors to establish the amounts of appropriate compensation. We are simply unable to express in words our regret and guilt for what we have done. We are morally obliged to the Jewish people for the fact that their representatives brought these facts to our attention, and we pray to Providence that this kind of thing will never happen again.”

A collection of photographs that have mysteriously appeared in the south of France are taken at a camp in Bavaria that the Nazis promoted to show they respected human rights.

Polish prisoners in photographs are dressed in suits. Some are dressed in fictional uniforms, hung with impressive medals, with mustaches and pince-nez. Others squeezed into women's dresses, painted eyelashes and hid their hair under blond wigs. They laugh and dance on stage. In the orchestra pit, other prisoners sit in front of the scores, engrossed in playing their violins, flutes and trumpets.

These are scenes from daily life at the Nazi Oflag (short for the German word Offizierslager, a prison camp for officers) in Murnau, in the far south of Bavaria, during World War II.

Polish officers imprisoned in Murnau were allowed to stage plays and operettas for entertainment. Men also took on women's roles.

The photographs do not quite correspond to the usual image of a Nazi camp, which is associated with forced labor and mass murder. Indeed, reports of prisoners performing in plays, libraries, exhibitions, sporting events and academic lectures behind barbed wire and prison walls have always sounded far-fetched. Reasonable skepticism remained even after the end of the war, when prisoners returned home and spoke of the rich cultural life in the prisoner of war camp.

In Germany, most people still know little about the living conditions of the Polish officers held in Oflag. One of the reasons is the language barrier. Memoirs of former Polish prisoners of war, published over the years, tended to appear exclusively in Polish.

These photographs paint a completely different story. Although more than ten years passed before the general public in Murnau learned of an extraordinary collection of photographs found in the south of France, documenting in amazing detail the activities at Oflag VII-A, at the foot of the Alps, shortly before the end of the Second World War.

Wooden box in trash bin

It was a winter night in 1999 when 19-year-old Olivier Rempfer was returning to his town of Cagnes-sur-Mer in southeastern France after an evening out with friends in nearby Saint-Laurent-du-Var. Then he caught his eye on a wooden box on top of a garbage container. Out of curiosity, Olivier opened the box and saw cylindrical objects wrapped in paper.

At home, he unwrapped them and discovered that they were rolls of black and white 35mm film. In the light we could see the stage, uniforms, barracks, guard towers and people in suits. Rempfer decided that the tapes must be from the set of some war film, and the men in them were actors. With this thought, he put the box aside and forgot about it, and the old house next to which he found it was bulldozed a couple of days later.

Years later, his father, Alain Rempfer, came across this belongings. The elder Rempfer, a photographer, was also in no hurry to show the negatives to anyone until 2003. But then he bought a film scanner and finally found time to take a closer look at about 300 frames from the collection. “I quickly realized that these were real historical photographs taken during the war in prisoner of war camps,” Rempfer said. “The brand name “Voigtländer” was written on the edges of the film. It was not familiar to me from the films, but I knew that Voigtländer was a German camera manufacturer.”

"It was like a silent movie"

Rempfer was looking for clues as to where these photographs could have been taken. In one shot, he saw a truck with several men. On the back of the car in white paint was written “PW Camp Murnau” and “PL” on the right. A little research showed that from 1939 to 1945, there was a camp for Polish officers prisoners of war in the German city of Murnau.


This photograph with a truck and the inscription “PW Camp Murnau” became a clue in identifying the location of the shooting.

Father and son studied the photographs intently and with enthusiasm. “These young men living in the camp were looking right at us from the tapes,” Rempfer Sr. said. “We don’t know their names or their lives, we don’t know anything about their hopes and their feelings.” It was a strange experience, as if someone had turned off the sound and left them watching a silent movie.”

“Olivier and I thought that perhaps we should give the photographs to a museum or library. But they were afraid that they would be forgotten again for many years,” says Rempfer. The father and son decided that the best way to show the photos to the world would be through a website. They hoped that the images would reach anyone who might be interested in them, especially family members of former prisoners of war who might recognize someone in the photographs. Collection of digitized photographs published online. The site is also constantly adding new HR-related information.

A forgotten chapter of history

The Remfers were contacted by relatives of many Polish prisoners of war whose families now live in the USA, Australia, Canada or England. “Some recognized their fathers, grandfathers or uncles in the photographs,” Allen said. Former prisoners of war, after their release, tended to say little about the years they spent in captivity. For many descendants, this was the first opportunity to learn about the life of officers in camp conditions.

The Remphers did not even hope to find the photographers who took the pictures. "It was too difficult." But one of them was identified. It turned out to be a Polish soldier Sylvester Budzinski.

Efforts have also been made in Murnau over the years to collect information about the camp, but few publications on the subject have reached readers outside the region. In 1980, the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper published an article by German historian Alfred Schickel, “Polish prisoners of war in German officer camps – a forgotten chapter of history.” However, Schickel later became associated with right-wing extremism. In a 1980 article, he lamented the lack of interest on the part of "historians here and elsewhere in the West" in the fate of some 18,000 Polish officers who became German prisoners of war.

Model camp

Of the 12 Nazi prisoner-of-war camps for officers, Murnau held the highest-ranking prisoners. Among others were the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Navy, Vice Admiral Józef Unrug, as well as Divisional General Juliusz Rummel, who led the defense of Warsaw in 1939.

“The prisoners were treated well, at least as well as was possible under the circumstances,” reports Marion Hruska, head of the historical association of Murnau. She studied the history of the camp for many years and organized an exhibition dedicated to it. Hruska says that Oflag VII-A Murnau held more than 5,000 prisoners and was organized as a "model camp". It was regularly inspected by representatives of the International Red Cross. The historian explains that by doing so the Nazis intended to show that they adhered to international law and the Geneva Conventions.

But this was far from true, says Hruska. There were cases when prisoners were shot. And in general, the supposedly correct treatment of prisoners immediately ceased when confronted with the racist ideology of the Nazis. For example, Polish officers of Jewish origin were kept separately from other prisoners in the camp ghetto. [Note that Soviet prisoners of war were treated inhumanely in any of the camps. Joseph Goebbels explained this by the fact that the USSR did not sign the Geneva Convention and did not follow its provisions.]

But how did photographs from the Murnau prison camp end up in the south of France?

Hruska says that in the last days of the war, several hundred Allied soldiers arrived in Murnau, including French soldiers. It is quite possible that there is a connection in this, but there are other versions. For example, a Polish officer could move to France after the war and bring the film footage with him.

Who was allowed to take photographs?

It is impossible to say who may have taken the films from the camp. They include footage of the liberation of Oflag by American troops and images of Munich being blown up. Apparently they were taken by several photographers.

However, the value of the find is undeniable. “I was stunned by so many photographs. I always thought that only Germans were allowed to take photographs in the camp,” says Hruska.

She knew that there was a German photographer inside the camp. After censorship checks, his photographs were printed in the form of postcards, which prisoners were allowed to send home. Most of these are photos of theater productions or sporting events. Some of those shots ended up in the city archives of Murnau.

But Hruska does not believe that the photographs discovered in France were taken by a German. She is sure that during the liberation of the camp by the Allies, not a single German photographer stood next to a camera in his hands.


Eyewitness Tom Wodzinski, who contacted the Rempfers after the photos were published, said the photo likely showed quarters for junior officers and enlisted men in Blocks E, F, G, H and K.


Most of the imprisoned Polish officers belonged to the military elite and were spared the forced labor common in Nazi camps. Apparently, the officers were given enough free time.

The Oflag in Murnau also included an orchestra. The audience consisted of German soldiers in the camp, who occasionally brought their families to the performances.

Holocaust in the toilet or new evidence of extraordinary Nazi atrocities

A caustic pamphlet on the memories of “eyewitnesses”


New evidence of Hitler’s abuse of Jewish prisoners continues to emerge. Accounts presented in a recent report by the Association of Former Nazi Concentration Camp Prisoners reveal the hitherto unknown fact that during the Second World War, prisoners at camps such as Auschwitz, Ravensbrück and Chelmno were prohibited from using toilet paper. In return, the SS forced the prisoners to use sandpaper, which was real torture for the latter.

“These SS beasts forced me to wipe myself with sandpaper,” recalls Anna Rosenstein, a former Auschwitz prisoner who miraculously survived the Holocaust. “They even appointed special capos (Jewish prisoners selected by the SS and who acted as guards over other prisoners - Ya.P.), who made sure that we were actually using sandpaper. At the slightest suspicion that we were not complying with this instruction, they made random checks. Violators were severely beaten and whipped. It was terrible! "

Another former prisoner describes the following public humiliation to which he was subjected by a particularly cruel SS man. “During the morning roll call, SS Sergeant Schweinkufer ordered me to take a step forward, after which he loudly announced in front of the whole formation that I had not always used sandpaper conscientiously,” says Rudolf Wbla, who now lives in the town of Newport, California. “I was forced to lift up in front "A piece of sandpaper and solemnly swear that I will use it honestly and conscientiously. That's why I just hated them! To this day, when I see sandpaper, I feel humiliated and insulted and break out in a cold sweat."

One former capo, who wishes to remain anonymous, admits that this actually happened. “I had to be careful about the use of sandpaper. I simply had no other choice,” he laments. “If I had refused to follow the orders of the SS men, I would have been forced to use sandpaper myself (thanks to my position, I could use ordinary toilet paper). However, when The SS men weren't looking, I was putting toilet paper on my fellow Jews. In this way I probably saved more than one human life!"

As a result of the forced use of sandpaper, many prisoners developed serious skin irritation in their private parts, however, when they sought medical help, the SS doctors simply laughed at them. “I could hardly sit, and going to the restroom every day was sheer torture,” recalls Leon Vrundelman, now an Israeli citizen. “The rash on my skin bled from time to time, but every time I asked for help, the doctors began to laugh and let "They made sarcastic jokes about this.

ADL statement regarding the book "The Holocaust and Everything, Everything, Everything..."

Today, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) made an official statement regarding the discoveries that appeared in the new book by Jewish researcher Raoul Grillberg, "The Holocaust and Everything, Everything, Everything...", according to which during the war the American corporation Procter and Gamble supplied the Third Reich Helen toilet paper and other personal hygiene products, thereby contributing to the extermination of European Jews. The statement says that this fact “unambiguously confirms that many people knew about the Final Solution and were even complicit in it, but preferred to remain silent about it, putting material values ​​above moral values.”

Abraham H. Foxman, director of the ADL, issued the following statement: “The time has come to take Helen by the throat. Until recently, we believed that we knew everything about the Holocaust, but Raoul Grillberg, in his new book “The Holocaust and Everything, Everything, Everything...” reveals to us shocking documents showing that the American giant corporation Procter and Gamble ( PG) provided the necessary hygienic infrastructure for Hitler's plan to exterminate Jews in Europe. In recent years, the involvement of various European and American corporations in supporting and supplying Nazi Germany has been revealed. We now have evidence that the PG Concern, maker of Helen toilet paper and the epitome of American business, was complicit in the Final Solution, making huge profits from the sale of toilet paper, toothpaste and other toiletries, and putting material values ​​above all else. moral values.

We were told that “nobody knew anything.” Nobody knew about Hitler's plans for the Jews; no one knew that the Third Reich was implementing the Final Solution; no one knew about the existence of gas chambers. Now it turns out that many not only knew about all this, but also - like PG - made it possible for the rapid execution of this genocide.

It is simply appalling to know that while millions of Jews forced into the camps were worked to the point of exhaustion and deprived of even the basic human need of taking a shower, their overseers enjoyed the softest toilet paper and the softest face creams that American technology could provide. . Let there be no longer any doubt: the so-called “clean” money of PG is dirty money.

“Everyone appreciates the comfortable feeling of cleanliness that Helen gives” - this is how the PG commercial goes. However, all PG employees must feel incredibly uncomfortable and dirty about the appalling violation of human rights that forms an ugly chapter in the history of their corporation. Making money from supporting the most heinous regime in all of human history may have seemed like a lucrative business at the time, but in this day and age it is a dirty business and we intend to go to great lengths to make sure that the current PG leadership renounces the actions of the past leadership and cooperates with the Jewish community in the right moral direction. This is the only way they can return to the ranks of respectable citizens.

Despite the fact that the current management of PG is not directly responsible for the actions of the previous directors of the company and for their trade deals with Nazi Germany, it is nevertheless obliged to provide the world community with a full account of what it did, as well as compensation for damages, in order to remove the stain that discredits the name of their company. Procter & Gamble, the epitome of American business, owes it to itself, to its employees, its investors, its customers, and most importantly, to the memory of the six million Jews and millions of other peoples martyred by the Nazis, to acknowledge its dirty role. in the Holocaust. We express confidence that the PG will take all necessary financial and moral measures to stop the public outrage generated by these new discoveries. The ADL, for its part, will continue to fight for accountability as more details about the Holocaust emerge, providing critical lessons for the future and present for all humanity.”
