Question:

What did the Nazis do with the Hair they cut off from prisoners in concentration camps?

Before being cremated or killed, they shaved the hair. Why? What did they need it for, or was it just to get rid of it?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The best stuff was sold to wigmakers and the rest was presumably destroyed. There are apocryphal stories of it being used for bedding, etc., but I've seen nothing confirming that.
