Collection of Five Postcards - Struthof Death Camp
Five postcards depicting various views from the Struthof death camp. Each postcard is described on its reverse. Published by C. O. S. O. R.
The postcards show a general view of the camp, muselmann prisoners in a march, the crematorium [which was built in the camp upon its opening and active throughout the existence of the camp], the camp barracks, the gas containers.
The Nazweiler Struthof camp established by the Nazis in northern France functioned as a concentration and labor camp 1941-1944. It was liberated by the Allied forces in 1944 while it contained approximately 20,000 prisoners. There were also human experiments performed there. Over the course of its existence, the Nazis murdered about 40,000 people there.
Very fine condition.
