Rare German WW2 armband for Gypsies worn in Concentration Camp AuschwitzPeople deported to concentration camps ceased to be treated like human beings. Their names were replaced with numbers, which they had to memorize and respond to during role calls and other procedures. Their clothing was confiscated and replaced by uniforms that had patches sewn on to identify them on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. Many lost their lives through starvation, disease, torture, and physical exhaustion. Some were shot or gassed. You are bidding on a rare WW2 armband for Gypsies. The BROWN triangle was used in concentration camps for Gypsies (previously wore the black triangle). This particular armband passed very important test - it does not glow under the black lamp (all fabrics after 1945 glow under the black light). For sample I put a photo of Gypsy couple sitting in an open area in concentration camp. Original pictures.Estimate price for this item is $150+
