The sign in the glass case read:
Texture and net made of hair of women who were killed in gas chambers.
I almost threw up.
What human did this? (Surely it could not have been a human...)
In front of us was the net and a blanket. To our right was a deep glass case that held two tons of human hair.
The guards shaved the corpses’ heads and sold their hair to textile factories for profit--over twelve million tons during the span of a few years. Mouth drops open in disgust: Some people in Germany and around Europe still own blankets, mattresses, and rugs made with this hair.
I looked to my right again.
Some of the hair was still in braids.
