It is requested that a photograph or photographs of a tattoo be included in this article to improve its quality. |
[edit] From User talk:65.41.178.218
The tattoo would have read K.Z.000000. The K.Z. stands Konzentration Zenter, and Ka-Tzet would be the phonetic spelling (more or less) of the initials K.Z.
[edit] Disputed tag
Looking at the few photographs I can find via Google I see none with a KZ before the number. Other text such as [1] talk about a Z meaning Gypsy, a triangle for Jews, and A for Auschwitz. Would be nice if someone with detailed knowledge of the subject would contribute. --Pascal666 07:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

- On the Hebrew Wikipedia's page on Yehiel De-Nur, it says that ka-tzetnik is from the German and Yiddish initials for concentration camp, but nothing about the letters appearing in the Auschewitz tattoo. K. Tzetnik is also quoted as saying that the names of the people in the camps was "the number ka-tzetnik" -- that might be the source of confusion. I think the KZ is synonymous with the number-tattoo. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 14:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good catch. There is plenty of holocaust tatoos on photos. Nowhere there is KZ. The sentence deleted. `'mikka 17:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- BTW it turned out there was no article about Nazi camp IDs. `'mikka 18:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
