caption_attribution_description: English: Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp file of my grandfather, Jerzy Kaźmirkiewicz. The stamp apparently says HOLLERITH ERFASST which was stamped on many Personal Information Cards after they had been entered into an IBM Hollerith punch card system, as documented in "IBM and the Holocaust" by Edwin Black.
context_page_description: The Disciplinary and Penal Code was first written for Dachau concentration camp and became the uniform code at all SS concentration camps in the Third Reich on January 1, 1934. Also known as the Strafkatalog, it detailed the regulations for prisoners. SS guards were instructed to report violations of the code to the commandant's office. The Concentration Camps Inspectorate was responsible for execution of the resulting punishment, which was carried out without verification of the allegations or any possibility of vindication.
