Hans Nelson and Hildegard Neumann were among the Nazis stationed at the Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia, camp/ghetto located just outside of Prague. Their wholesome, clean-cut appearances belie the nature of their work. As ghetto superintendents, the two contributed to the deaths of thousands of Jews imprisoned at Theresienstadt.

Throughout the first half of 1943, Theresienstadt guards Nelson and Neumann functioned as parts of an elaborate system that deported Jews from Germany, Austria, and the Protectorate to the camp/ghetto.

Krupp was among the many German corporations to make extensive use of the abundant supply of slave labor that the concentration-camp system provided. This airplane factory in Essen was just one of several major Krupp plants located throughout the Reich and the occupied territories. In September 1944 Krupp employed around 288,000 workers. During the Nuremberg Trials, the Allies accused Alfred Krupp, chief of the corporation, of profiting from the work of approximately 100,000 slaves, probably an underestimation.
