НазваниеClothes whip from Bergen Belsen
ОписаниеClothes whip found during the liberation of Bergen Belsen by British soldier, Ernest Brittain. The whip was produced by the German Reich Labor Service to remove dust from blankets, clothing and other fabrics.
Whilst intended for a soldiers kit, there is continued speculation of its use at the camps. Survivor of Buchenwald, Auschwitz and Buna, Jack Meister states; 'Kapos had sticks, anything they can find, to do the job for the Germans, to punish people, to hit.'
