For all of those loyal students out there who actually read these posts, you may remember that my last blog was about the Nuremberg Trials and torturous acts preformed on the Jews in the concentration camps.
Well, after visiting the Mutter Museum and doing some extensive picture-ogling of shrunken heads, I came across the image above. It is a shrunken head made from a prisoner at the Buchenwald camp. The head of the camp, Karl Koch, and his wife, Isla, requested a number of these weird "gifts" to be made from the skin of unlucky prisoners. It is also rumored that Isla requested this lamp to be made out of human skin.



Notice the two heads on the left and the lamp on the far right.
