Sell Your Dachau Prisoner Watercolor
Dachau (/ˈdɑːxaʊ/) was a Nazi concentration camp opened on 22 March 1933, which was initially intended to hold political prisoners. It is located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory northeast of the medieval town of Dachau, about 16 km (10 mi) northwest of Munich in the state of Bavaria, in southern Germany. After its opening by Heinrich Himmler, its purpose was enlarged to include forced labor, and, eventually, the imprisonment of Jews, Romani, German and Austrian criminals, and, finally, foreign nationals from countries that Germany occupied or invaded. The Dachau camp system grew to include nearly 100 sub-camps, which were mostly work camps or Arbeitskommandos, and were located throughout southern Germany and Austria. The main camp was liberated by U.S. forces on 29 April 1945.

Dr. Josef Mengele Autograph Letter Signed 1944
German SS Officer and Nazi “Angel of Death” Dr. Josef Mengele writes to his wife, Irene, during the time he spent performing horrific atrocities on prisoners at Auschwitz. Addressed from “Auschwitz O/S / K.Z. (Concentration Camp) / SS Precinct” and dated 3 December 1944. A full J. Mengele signature appears in the return address. Composed in German and translated in full: “My Dearest Buzele! I want to write a letter quickly this Sunday and thank you for your letter that I received Sunday evening. If only the mail weren’t so slow! But how fortunate it is that we can still write each other and that we still can express our most intimate feelings and thoughts to each other. In the meantime, you received my letter in which I suggested that you move here. Ever since I started looking for an apartment, people want to know when you’ll arrive. Especially Frau Kitt keeps asking about you. She seemed quite happy about the book. Frau Kitt and Frau Finker are good friends. This became clear to me during our last SS social evening, that social evening went on for ‘quite’ a while. Tonight the pharmacists in Auschwitz invited me. I’m happy to hear that you’re both doing well. How are your parents? I’ve heard about the fighting in Schlettstadt! Believe me, things are not that bad. We’ll retreat back to the Rhine, just like in 1939. They’ve started using our newest weapons at the front and soon things will change. We just have to trust our strength, and we’ll overcome these problems! The air strikes here only hit our industrial complex. So far we’ve emerged unscathed. Squadrons are flying over us all the time, but I really can’t imagine that they’ll target the concentration camp. Please answer quickly and make a decision about moving here. I’ll have to make plans either way. Last Thursday I met Albert. With the letter delivered through Frau Precht, I’m also sending you a book by Kurt Eggert. My dearest, beloved Butzele, I want you to relax in Gunzburg, and I want you to enjoy our little boy. In my thoughts, I’m always with the two of you. Many hot kisses, always yours, Papili.” Letter runs 1.5pp. and measures 7.25″ x 11″. Near fine condition. Sold for $9,768.
Josef Mengele Autograph Letter Signed 1942
Josef Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death” amongst other nicknames, during his service as physician to the Nazi regime. His unspeakable acts of human experimentation are in horrific contradiction to the content of this affectionate, though somewhat manic, letter to his wife Irene, requesting her assistance in procuring basic human comfort items such as sugar and shoe polish. Dated 17 January 1942, while Mengele was serving in the Nazi army deep behind Russian lines. Letter reads in full: “My dear Butzele! Just right now, I found out that some of our captains will be going back to Germany to attend a further SS officer training (Fuhrerschule), and I will use the opportunity to send a letter to you. Most importantly, I want you to know that I’m doing well. I wanted to ask you a few favors. Please send sugar on a regular basis. your jam was highly appreciated since it was something else to eat for a change. I really need a comb and nail clippers. Since I lost my medical books (and my britches!), I would really appreciate it if you could send me a used copy of “The Guide for Diagnostics and Therapy” (“Diagnostisches und Therapeutisches Vademecum,” medical textbook for physicians). I’m supposed to know everything there is to know about medicine, and that’s asking too much from an expert on racial hygiene, like myself. With the help of a small textbook, I will get the information on most diseases really fast; I think you understand what I’m saying. A Russian dictionary would also be quite useful since I assume it contains more words pertaining to everyday life. The dictionary that the army gave us only deals with military topics. The Russian language is difficult, but you can converse a little bit with a few words and basically no grammar. I think I could speak Russian fluently in a few years since nobody pronounces the endings. I just had another idea: How about some shoe polish? Please send a can if this is not too much trouble for you. I don’t need shoe polish in order to wear shiny shoes; I have to maintain the seams. Without maintenance the seams burst! My darling, how are your studies coming along? Have you heard anything about your job in Munich? did you get the certificate? In conclusion, I want to tell you that I’m terribly in love with you! Yes! And you love me too, don’t you? With lots of kisses, your Butz.” Upon the verso, he writes from “Dr. J. Mengele” and writes the name of his wife “Irene Maria Mengele” along with her address in Germany. One page letter in blue ink, in German, on green stationery measuring 8.5″ x 11.25″. Mailing folds with slight chipping to edges, else fine condition. Sold for $7,339.

Japanese Internent Tule Lake Concentration Camp Diary
Very moving autograph album kept by a Japanese girl during her internment at The Tule Lake War Relocation Center, the most repressive of the ten concentration camps housing Japanese Americans during World War II. Owned by a young woman named Akiko, the autograph book contains approximately 125 entries, with the earliest inscribed by her fellow classmates graduating from McCarver Jr. High School in Tacoma, Washington in January 1942. These ominous well-wishes of good luck from Akiko’s classmates quickly segue to entries in July 1942 at Pinedale, California, one of thirteen temporary detention centers following approval of Executive Order 9066 on 19 February 1942, which established the camps. Then, beginning in October 1942 until September 1943, all entries are from Tule Lake, with several individuals recording their block and cell number in lieu of the place. The last entries from late 1943 make mention of Akiko’s upcoming transfer to a different camp (in Minidoka, Idaho), which mirrors the historical record of low-risk inmates who scored “high” on loyalty questionnaires being moved to lesser security camps. It was in 1943 when Tule Lake became a maximum security prison housing those who the government considered disruptive or disloyal. Sold for $2,400.
