Angora rabbits were raised in Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau to provide fur for the linings of jackets for Luftwaffe pilots.
Many of the artifacts left by Nazi Germany could be considered bizarre. But few are as chilling as a beautifully bound volume covered in woven gray wool, titled "Angora." It belonged to one of history's most ruthless men, Heinrich Himmler, the chief of the SS in Nazi Germany and head of its concentration camps.
Himmler's "Angora" album, which he hid in a farmhouse with his other papers near the end of World War II, tells the story of the Angora rabbit project that operated in all the Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau.
