Identification Each of the
Buchenwald prisoners had a number. It was not uncommon for numbers to be mixed up and one punished for another’s offense.
Roll Call In 1943, dogs
trained to kill men in these striped suits were brought into the camp and released outside its borders.
Roll Call Four roll calls took
place each day. If a prisoner was
missing, the rest would stand until he was found.
Arrivals from Kristallnacht
Roll Call for prisoners arrested during “Night of Broken Glass”

quota was 80 per day.
This was often exceeded.
Barracks First barracks were
built by prisoners themselves.
