Description:

Constricted from a 37mm Brass Disc, stamped large SS "/" Obverse features a deeply struck star of david with "Sonderkommando". "Sondercommando's" were special work units of NAZI death camp prisoners who were forced to aid in the killing process of their own people during the holocaust. They didnt participate in the killing themselves, that distinction was reserved for the SS guards. The primary function for the Sondercommando's was to lead the prisoners to gas chambers "showers", then dispose of the corpses. They were forced into the position, but begrudgingly accepted it knowing it meant a few more days or weeks of life, and vastly better living conditions. The term itself means Special Command.
