 | | However, in most cases the departure from the historical truth is minor, and is clearly labelled. | | | After the war, the camp served as a prison of the NKVD through most of 1945 and then remained in a state of disrepair for several years. | | | Block 11 of Auschwitz I was the "prison within the prison", where violations of the numerous rules were punished. |

| | The Evolution of Tattooing in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp Complex |
| | Following the introduction of other categories of prisoners into the camp, the numbering scheme became more complex. | | | These prisoners may have been socalled career criminals (Befristeter Vorbeugungshäftlinge, also known in camp jargon as Berufsverbrecher), protective prisoners (Schutzhäfilinge), or reeducation prisoners (Erziehungshäftlinge). | | | When they arrived at the camp, prisoners were issued serial numbers which were then sewn to their prison uniforms. |
