Schumer would have been a trustee guard in a Nazi camp.




I remember reading the term used for those "helpers" by the Nazis, I think
it was something close to "Sondercommando". Not real certain of the
spelling, since I believe what I was reading was from a periodical in the
late 50s. Yeah, Sondercommando Schumer does
seem to fit his personality.

Sonderkommando were the Jews who worked in the gas chambers and
crematoria. Kapo referred to a position more akin to "trustee." A kapo
was more generally red triangle, political, or green triangle, common
criminal, prisoner.
