These were all custom jobs; the person who put the boxes together is Zbigniew Libera, a Polish artist expressing his views on the recent trivialization of the Holocaust. The first time I saw it, I cried. You can find some descriptive text about the exhibit at http://www.erols.com/kennrice/lego-kz.htm > note that i do not aggree with the subject matter of the sets etc. > i think that the grey hose thing would maske a great minifig dentists drill... > also the fence posts would look good around a top secret military base and the > guard minifig... i think that it would probobly be good for something... As I'm sure that the younger Hitler's Youths thought that the knives given to them by the Reich would make pretty belt decorations. Quite a few of the older ones found a much darker use for them. Top-secret military bases and such are fun to fantasize about, but I think that what one of Libera's points is, is that this kind of fantasy is where a good deal of the Nazi atrocities encountered during WWII came from.

(...) Ok folks, I'm about to open a HUGE can of worms, so here goes. Why is it that when anyone speaks of the Holocaust, only Jews are mentioned. Jews represented only 60% of those extinguished during the holocaust. Gays, Gypsys, blacks and poles (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
