    I didnt tell, that it is her skull, maybe just belogend to her. She was the wife of the KZ commandant Karl-Otto Koch and collected macabre things, like lampshades made of KZ prisoner skins.

    Is the thing about the lampshades really true? I've read that they after the trial against the "Witch of Buchenwald" they discovered that it was skin from goats and they instead of life in prison only gave her 4 years.

    True or not, she was a sadistic person and had luck with judgement. I can remember, that she got a weak punishment, cause she was pregnant.

    There's nothing on a human skull that can tell you if it was a man or a woman...
    Only when you have prove or provenance that it was a man, you could know it... otherwise not...

    DNA on that skull could easily be obtained via DNA from one of the teeth. Would not only tell the sex but the ethnicity of the individual.
    Items such as that can carry very bad things with them. It is not an object that I personally would display or keep as a curiosity. The "artist" was obviously quite depraved.
    The Lampshade of human skin was indeed confirmed a few years ago via a DNA test.
