Otto Küsel (born May 16, 1909 in Berlin; died November 17, 1984〔Bernacka, p. 8 und 9〕) is considered to be an example of a prisoner functionary in Nazi concentration camp, who used his position in favour of other prisoners. ==Detention in German concentration camps== Küsel was arrested because of offences against property.〔Dregger, Kapitel 2B〕 On May 20, 1940, he came from the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to Auschwitz I in a group of 30 criminal prisoners. His prison number was number 2.〔Czech, Danuta: (Kalendarium ), S. 5.〕 As a prisoner functionary, he was responsible to coordinate the work of the prisoners and used his position to help them, for instance by assigning good labour details to weaker prisoners.〔Dregger, Kapitel IIB〕 In the afternoon of December 1942, Küsel escaped together with the Polish prisoners, Jan Baraś Komski, Mieczysław Januszewski and Bolesław Kuczbara.〔Czech, Danuta: (Kalendarium ), S.107f〕 Küsel was arrested in Warsaw and sent back to Auschwitz in September 1943. He was kept in isolation until November and released to the main camp in November during an amnesty related to the taking of office of the new commander Arthur Liebehenschel.〔Czech, Danuta: Kalendarium. 1942-2.pdf, S. 108. footnote 1 and Bernacka, S. 8〕 On November 9 in 1944 he was sent to Flossenbürg.〔Czech, Danuta: (Kalendarium ), p. 108. footnote 1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otto Küsel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
