Unused label for packets sent via the French Red Cross based in Nancy France to inmates in Oranienburg-Sachsenhausen concentration camp.<br> “The SS established the Sachsenhausen concentration camp as the principal concentration camp for the Berlin area.

Prominent figures interned in Sachsenhausen included Pastor Martin Niemöller former Austrian chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg Georg Elser Herschel Grynszpan and Joseph Stalin's son Yakov Dzhugashvili….<br> During the nationwide Kristallnacht ‘Night of Broken Glass’ pogrom of November 1938 Reichsführer SS SS chief and Chief of German Police Heinrich Himmler ordered the arrest of up to 30000 Jews. The SS transported those arrested to Sachsenhausen Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps. Almost 6000 Jews arrived in Sachsenhausen in the days following the Kristallnacht riots….<br> In the spring of 1944 SS authorities began to bring thousands of Hungarian and Polish Jews from ghettos and other concentration camps to Sachsenhausen as the need for forced laborers in Sachsenhausen and its subcamps increased. Many of these new Jewish prisoners were women….<br> The guards of Sachsenhausen in the early years of the camp were men from the SS Death's Head units SS-Totenkopfverbände; later members of the Waffen-SS were transferred to the SS Death's Head Battalion and deployed as guards†USHMM.<br> For the Red Cross’ description of its attempts to support concentration camp inmates see www.icrc.org/en/document/icrc-wwii-holocaust.Toning otherwise Very Good Condition.

1918165841918. World War I Hospital Camp Photo Album. 1915-1918 documents the transformation of improvised military medical infrastructure in Great Britain during the mass casualty years of the First World War. Created amid the unprecedented scale of industrial warfare the album captures the rapid expansion of ad hoc hospital camps established to accommodate wounded soldiers evacuated from continental battlefields. The photographs foreground the gendered labor of wartime medicine particularly the visible presence of women serving as nurses alongside male physicians and officers and support research in military medical history women's wartime service Red Cross mobilization and the logistics of casualty care on the British home front.<br /> <br /> Nine large silver gelatin photographs 1915-1918 each approximately 7 x 9 inches mounted within an album; seven affixed with adhesive and two laid in loose; nine blank pages at rear. The images depict interior hospital wards with rows of iron cots soldiers resting under blankets and nurses in uniform attending to patients within wooden barrack structures adapted for medical use. One particularly notable image records a surgical procedure in progress with a nurse assisting four physicians wearing aprons and rolled sleeves offering rare visual documentation of operative practice in a temporary wartime facility. Additional photographs show military officers and medical staff posed formally exterior views of barracks and medical buildings stretcher transport of wounded soldiers and motorized ambulances prominently marked with large Red Cross insignia. The album as a whole presents both the institutional organization and the daily labor of care within a camp hospital environment.<br /> <br /> Produced during years when British medical services were strained by the steady influx of casualties from the Western Front and other theaters these photographs materially document the improvisational architecture of wartime healing and the integration of women into formally structured medical roles. The visual evidence of collaborative surgical teams and orderly ward arrangements underscores the professionalization of nursing and the expansion of female participation in public service during the war. As an assembled album rather than isolated prints the group preserves a contemporaneous narrative of military medicine under crisis conditions. Small tears and minor chipping at the edges of the front and rear covers; photographs clean with strong tonal range and only light handling wear; mounts secure though two prints loose as noted. Overall very good condition. A cohesive visual record of First World War hospital camp life emphasizing gendered medical labor and the material culture of emergency care. unknown
