These items really bring home the true horror of what nazi germany was up to and the millions of innocent and beautiful people who lost their lives. I personally would love to own a peice of history like this(not because of any morbid fascination)because it is so important to teach our own children about the terrible acts that us humans can inflict on one another.Thanks so much for shareing,and if you decide to part with anything let me know.

A current project has presented the opportunity to co-operate with a local historian of the Holyšov area near Plzen, not far from the Bavarian border. Holyšov was the site of the Flossenburg subcamp KL-Holleischen, and the metal works facility MWH (MetalwerkeHoilleischen) during the war, and the prisoners at the camp were among the forced labourers at the MWH facility. Several years ago, my contact was able to tour and study the former facility buildings, and found examples similar to these, uncirculated KL Holleischen tokens, untouched and still in sheet form within the vault.

Another set of images related to camp post, including an October 1941 example from a female prisoner at KL Ravensbruck.

Note the censorship.
