My mother had a uncle, who had numbers on his forearm - and in my innocence (I was 3) I asked what it was about... He kind of shuddered - but told me, that he had been in a place where evil ones lived - and that the evils had tattooed a number on his hand to be sure who he was.. Thankfully he was able to leave the evil place, to live where kindness and good persons live. This was a symbols for him - that even evil can be conquered by the good ones.. And I kind of "okay" and that was the last of it..
Years, and years, and years after I understood what he really meant - but then he was dead so I could not say it to him.. (He died in 1988)
I guess it is a sobering lesson, to know what we humans can do to each other if we want - humans can do great things, but human kind is as evil as the darkest parts of Hell if we choose to...
