I looked up concentration camps and they explain a number tattoo on the forearm. This is Hitler Jew WWII era stuff. Any info on when they tattoo on the wrist, veins side? What is this, and where did this happen?

The first person that responded said it's on the forearms. I've talked to a couple of Holocaust survivors and they showed me their number tattoos; it is indeed a form of identification.
It is also a way to de-humanize the Jews as their faith prohibited them from tattooing their skin.

Are you kidding? Jews and concentration camps? When getting a tattoo the last thing you need to worry about is something like that. I have a star on my wrist, guess that is very jewish of me...? Get it on the back of your neck or the back of your ankle.

Apparently from what I've read the I.D. tattoo varied somewhat. Auschwitz put them on the forearm, I read of a salt mine that put the letters "KL" on the back of the wrist . KL being the abbreviation for the German words for concentration camp.

A friend of mine had such a tattoo; she was a survivor of Aushwitz. It is not on the wrist; it is on the forearm
