The clothing warehouse of Theresienstadt Small Fortress where newly arrived prisoners were forced to strip of their clothes to wear discarded uniforms from defeated armies. This humiliation was part of the systematic dehumanization process of detainees. Personal clothing was confiscated along with all valuables. Prisoners thus lost their individual identity, reduced to numbers in worn uniforms inadequate for harsh weather conditions.
