The Concentration Camp Cell and Prisoner's Uniform

In the stark corners of the exhibit, you will find a replication of a concentration camp cell, and within, a preserved uniform. This uniform, marked with an upside-down triangle, is a symbol of political prisoners, one of many categories of individuals deemed subhuman by the Nazis. Each symbol represented a different group - political prisoners, homosexuals, or so-called "lazy workers" were all targeted and systematically dehumanized.
