Prostheses and orthoses In the collections of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum
Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2011, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
The authors described 424 orthopaedic appliances left by the prisoners of the Nazi Concentration Camp in Oświęcim. A collection of prostheses and orthoses, which is currently a part of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’s exhibition, is extraordinary as it illustrates the fate of innocent, crippled people, who were incarcerated and murdered. Another point of value of the collection is its technical aspect, as it provides a clear picture of construction of prostheses and orthoses at the beginning of the 20th century.
