Canteens in KL Auschwitz

One of the ways that the SS earned signficant profits from the operation of KL Auschwitz was by selling to prisoners a variety of goods and products in camp canteens.Taking over the shops and canteens from SS-Geminschaft Kaminenbetriebe was a particularly successful and profitable venture. In 1943 over a third of the corporation's sales volume came from the sale of merchandise in prisoner's and SS canteens
