Nazi photo album made from HUMAN SKIN of a death camp victim is discovered after collector noticed book cover had 'a tattoo, human hair and bad smell'
UK Daily Mail ^ | March 5, 2020 | Ed Wight and Stuart Dowell

A gruesome WWII photo album made from the skin of Nazi death camp victims has been found at a bric-a-brac antiques market in Poland.

The battered WWII album was handed over to staff at the Auschwitz Memorial Museum after the buyer noticed the cover had 'a tattoo, human hair and a bad smell'.

Museum experts have now analysed the album's cover and binding and say it is likely that the skin came from an inmate murdered at the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald, in Germany.

They added that it was 'without doubt proof of a crime against humanity.'

I heard about the Nazis collecting hair, and gold and silver from teeth but first time I heard the Nazis created leather products from their victims' skin.

They were truly evil people. But of course the Yoots of the world discount it as all lies...…

I had heard of them using skin for lampshades when I was a kid, but I’ve never felt the need to research the specifics. It wouldn’t surprise me, but I don’t need to be convinced of the evil of the Nazis so I never pursued the veracity.

Just horrible. I always heard the Nazis made lamp shades from skin as well. Just seeing the pictures of this will give nightmares.

I want to remember reading a long time ago about the Nazis making lamp shades from the skin of the death camp occupants. This account vividly sticks in my mind.

Could have been one of the 100’s of George Soros victims he turned into the nazi’s just so he could sell their belongings. Search on 60 Minutes episode.

Anybody comparing others to Hitler and nazis really doesn’t know their history and are going overboard. And should be ashamed for not knowing the atrocities committed.

I read this, and then I instantly wondered if any abortion “doctors” have books bound in...

I can’t even really say it.

By the law of averages, you are going to have true deviants do things like this in situations like what the Nazi’s employed... true sadists would be drawn to the death camps like moths to a flame.

The scary thing about the Nazi’s is not that the minority sadists did things like this, but that they had hundreds of thousands if not millions of otherwise normal regular every day people do the things they did.

That’s the true window into the human soul that few wish to talk about... We like to think ourselves enlightened and good, but the reality is, even the best of us, is capable of insidious evil.

The nature of man, is not intrinsically Good.... that good nature must be nourished, encouraged and reinforced, and the left has done everything in their power in this country to destroy the systems and organizations that traditionally have done such things.

Not criticizing you, but that is a well know fact.

Google "Ilse Koch, the bitch of Buchenwald"

Not only that, they say since it happened so long ago by another generation forget it; meanwhile America is continually blasted over slavery that England introduced into the colonies.

That’s well said. As Dennis Prager has pointed out many times anyone using the Nazi reference is desecrating the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust.

If they can recover dna from the skin they might be able to ID the victim.

William Shirer mentioned it in his book THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH. It was well known back in the 1950s with all the returning servicemen.

Nazis creating household objects from human skin of concentration camp prisoners is well known. I didn’t know that Ilse Koch was ACQUITTED of war crimes. She had this cute habit of ordering prisoners with attractive tattoos to be killed so that she could have their skin to make lampshades, wallets, album covers and the like made from them. I cannot believe she was acquitted, but the non-arrest of Hillary shows that heinous criminals can get away with crimes.

That’s the true window into the human soul that few wish to talk about... We like to think ourselves enlightened and good, but the reality is, even the best of us, is capable of insidious evil.

Take for example, the relatively benign “Stanford Prison Experiment”.

In the study, volunteers were assigned to be either “guards” or “prisoners” by the flip of a coin, in a mock prison, with Zimbardo himself serving as the superintendent. Several “prisoners” left mid-experiment, and the whole experiment was abandoned after six days. Early reports on experimental results claimed that students quickly embraced their assigned roles, with some guards enforcing authoritarian measures and ultimately subjecting some prisoners to psychological torture, while many prisoners passively accepted psychological abuse and, by the officers’ request, actively harassed other prisoners who tried to stop it. The experiment has been described in many introductory social psychology textbooks,[2] although some have chosen to exclude it because its methodology is sometimes questioned.

It’s been said before, and this is as succinct as possible - Absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

I think that is a book that should be buried. Should not be in a museum or library.

Just look at how the left treats the millions killed by Hitler compared to the millions killed by Stalin. Look at all of the young people brainwashed by our government indoctrination centers ( formerly public schools) and Marxist professors who support Bernie. NAZIs bad, Communists good.

I am reading “Inside the 3rd Reich”, by Speer. I am convinced that people like Speer were not evil or immoral people. They were amoral- no foundational belief in right and wrong.
