A kapo or prisoner functionary (German: Funktionshäftling) was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp who was assigned by the SS guards to supervise forced labor or carry out administrative tasks in the camp. Also called “prisoner self-administration”, the prisoner functionary system minimized costs by allowing camps to function with fewer SS personnel. The system was also designed to turn victim against victim, as the prisoner functionaries were pitted against their fellow prisoners in order to maintain the favor of their SS guards.

Believe me Cripple I know what a Kapo is.

For more Horror look into Magda Goebbels and her Step Father Richard Friedländer.

If once you learn that watch the Famous Movie "Downfall". I guarantee you it will leave you numb.

If I recall correctly Soros was literally one wasn't he?

Or did he serve in the Waffen-SS?
