The wife of a Nazi director had a peculiar hobby: when a prisoner was brought in who was tatooed, he was brought in and undressed for her inspection. If she liked his tattooing, he was killed and the piece of skin tanned. She would make purses of it. Once she made a lamp with a large tattooed lampshade. The base of the lamp is made of human bones. Most of the prisons contained political or Jewish prisoners'
