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 do not believe they were amoral... some were.... certainly, but many were raised with perfectly normal moral foundations... but when the systems that encourage, promote an reinforce that moral foundation, or twist it... you wind up with normal good people doing horrendous things.
This is the lesson of the Nazis.... Most of those doing the dirty work were not monsters, they weren’t amoral... they were normal every day people... and they did the heinous things they did anyway.
This is the fallacy of modern man, they believe that man is innately good... and NOTHING could be further from the truth.... Man is only good when the good inside them is nurtured and reinforced.... left to their own devices, man is evil and wicked.
Great tag line, FRiend.
Thanks - I saw it years ago somewhere (might have even been here at FR), and decided to borrow it.
