The Oubliette Of Dachau - The Torture Of The Standing Cells
Inside of the concentration camps, there were horrific elements of torture that aimed to break a prisoner physically and psychologically. During the Second World War, millions found themselves imprisoned within the Nazi camps, and the guards were known for the horrific brutality. However inside of Dachau, one of the earliest concentration camps, there was a horrific torture chamber that aimed to push a prisoner to their physical limits, and sometimes it forced prisoners to their deaths.
The Standing Cells forced a prisoner into a standing position, and they could not sit down or crouch down. They were forced into this one position and were held there for days and sometimes weeks on end. Imagine having to stand for up to 6 weeks, as some prisoners were stuck inside the standing cell for that long. Some prisoners were also not fed during their time there, which caused many to die a horrific and agonising death. The SS Guards also regularly beat the prisoners inside the cells, and this form of torture was inspired by Medieval history.
Inside Medieval Castle, often there was an oubliette dungeon found. This was a hole in the ground where a prisoner was simply left and forgotten, but they were often so cramped they were forced into the same position until they died. The Standing Cells used by the Nazis inside of the concentration camps were inspired by the Oubliette, and they were a sadistic form of torture inflicted onto the victims of one of the most evil regimes the world has even seen.
