| Able-bodied prisoners worked in the slave labor complex. Their heads
were shaved and their
belongings seized. The prisoners were identified by number instead
of by name, so a number was tattooed on the arm of each person.
The able-bodied prisoners were forced to work long days under
very cruel conditions. Whenever one became weak or ill, the guards
killed him or forced him to work until he died.
When the prisoner finally died, any gold teeth were removed from
the corpses and their bodies were burned.
