Although the most widespread term was the aforementioned “Muselmann” (because of the posture adopted by the prisoners, which resembled the posture of prostration in Islam), in some camps the terms “Gamel” (from “rotten”) and “Krypel” (from “crippled” or “lame”) were also used.

A prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp of Nordhausen shows the pitiful physical condition of one of his fellow inmates. Prisoners in that state were commonly referred to as “Muselmann”. Many died in the days following liberation.

A prisoner reveals the emaciated condition of his companion at the Nordhausen concentration camp. In the camps, those in such a state were referred to as "Muselmann" (pl. "Muselmänner")—a term used for those on the brink of death due to starvation and exhaustion.

This is one of the hardest photos we’ve restored and colored, and perhaps one of the most necessary. These two men are showing their liberators what their work was like as part of the Sonderkommando at Dachau camp. But what was the Sonderkommando? Thread:

✡️Tatiana Bucci Born in Fiume, Italy, in 1937. Deported to Auschwitz in 1944 with her sister, mistaken for twins by Dr. Mengele and spared the gas chamber. She survived. We've colored her photo, in which she was with her sister.

#ISurvivedAuschwitz When Holocaust survivor Tatiana Bucci (Pertoldi) closes her eyes she is taken back to Auschwitz’s children’s barrack. Dr. Mengele mistook her and her sister for twins, and they were spared the gas chamber and survived the Holocaust. Their cousin, Sergio De Simone, did not. He was one of 20 Jewish children, aged five to 12, separated from their families at Auschwitz that were deported to the Neuengamme concentration camp where they were subjected to medical experiments carried out by Nazi SS physician Kurt Heissmeyer. With the Allies nearing Hamburg, the children, who were witnesses to the Nazi’s crimes, were murdered in the basement of a former school. Tatiana would like you to #RememberThis. #Auschwitz
