Black And Decker B1800 Instructions
The brothels were set up as a kind of prize awarded to prisoners for good behavior, hard work or personal use to the Nazi camp in addition to avoiding them at the same time the spread of homosexuality. A traveling exhibit will be open until September 30 at the former Ravensbrück concentration camp near Berlin, documents one of the most sordid but least known of life in the Nazi camps.
Women working in the brothel were also prey to the Nazis gave them to choose between prostitution or death.
The prisoner who received the right to use the services of the brothel spent a brief medical examination, to detect if he had a venereal disease, he gave two marks to the SS officer who managed the business, which was the price also had a pack of cigarettes, and could climb to the top floor of the barracks where the prisoners expected to customers. "The girls were dressed as if they were ordinary women living in the wild, beautiful and clean clothes, because that sense of normalcy increased the attractiveness of the brothels and interest of the prisoners to get permission to use their services," says "Rzeczpospolita".
The visit to the brothel, which was not permitted to the Jews, left little room for fantasy. And the sexual act could not longer than twenty minutes and only allowed the missionary position. The client and the prostitute were observed by a guard through a hole in the door to ensure compliance with the prohibition of speech.
The newspaper notes that the brothels were helping the Germans to remain calm in the fields, because the participants in any incident of insubordination for many months lost the right to pass their doors.
The visit to the brothel, which was not permitted to the Jews, left little room for fantasy. And the sexual act could not longer than twenty minutes and only allowed the missionary position. The client and the prostitute were observed by a guard through a hole in the door to ensure compliance with the prohibition of speech. "Rzeczpospolita" cites the opinion of Professor Jozef Szajna, a former Auschwitz inmate who has tattooed the number 18,729, which met brothels in the Nazi system of repression an important role, because on one hand, served to buy peace in the camps and provided them with substantial other income.
"Anyone who thinks the brothel that operated in the shed 24, Auschwitz was a gesture of sympathy for the Nazis against the prisoners is wrong at all, because its goal was to sink into the deepest humiliation both to prisoners forced into prostitution , and their companions in misfortune who took advantage of despicable exploitation of women, "said Szajna.
Brothels field once again show the "opportunism" in the policy underlying the double standards of the Nazi destruction: the same government that fought prostitution officially maintained while a network of brothels. A lot of women went to Ravensbrück were sewed a black triangle on the sleeve which distinguished them as "asocial." This category also included since 1938 the unemployed, beggars, prostitutes, homosexuals and Gypsies. The Nazis considered asocial women who simply changed frequently work or calling attention to their lifestyle. The command of the hidden fields are always two things to visitors: the crematorium and the brothel. But after 1945 the museums of the old fields have devoted almost no attention to these barracks of prostitution. "That, - create the museum's director of Ravensbrück Insa Eschenbach "sobering." For a long time, prostitution in the camps was not considered as forced labor, arguing that women who practice "and were dedicated to it before being admitted" or that they did "voluntarily." "Today, those who profit from prostitution networks of African women from Eastern Europe or continue using the free choice argument to justify their criminal enterprises," says SS Eschebach.Las select these women in Ravensbrück and separated before sending the rest to other fields. They wore street clothes, washed and received food from the kitchen of his captors. Documents what we might call the "health management" of the fields describe the dismal physical condition of these women before being returned to Ravensbrück, where they had abortions and were victims of medical experiments on sexually transmitted diseases. After releasing the fields, most of these women hid their experience as sexual slaves. The Ravensbrück exhibition seeks to help break the taboo of sex in the death camps.
