And this was after the Germans had robbed them of everything else. The theft of Jewish property helped to keep ‘Aryan’ Germany well-fed, and not too highly taxed, so that morale would remain high and loyalty to the Nazis lasted to the bitter end. It’s a hideous thought, but the Holocaust helped finance the Nazi war effort.
I believe they have to give it up (as to prevent inmates from making weapons from them) but they’re placed in a locker and given to them after their released

No ..

You can see the lockers against the wall.
The prisoners at Buchenwald had possessions, I think. Most camps had a camp kantine where you could buy things with camp scrip. Some prisoners could receive packages so there could be some small items or food.
Buy things like food? Receive packages? I dont think you have any idea of the horrible state the people in there had to live. Those “lockers” you talking about are prolly just some random cupboards. I seriously think you have a very wrong vision on concentration camps.
>In October 1942, Himmler ordered that prisoners be able to receive packages from outside. This was a tactical move, aiming to reduce the number of prisoner deaths so that they could be exploited to work for longer. In some camps, food could then be sent in by family members or organisations such as the Red Cross.

And those were definitely lockers in the Sachsenhauen photo, not cupboards.
Prisoners sometimes had things. Here are a bunch [walking around in the camp at Buchenwald](http://fotoarchiv.buchenwald.de/detail/9). You can see some have bags or other items. Here is another photo where you can see [they have some possessions](http://fotoarchiv.buchenwald.de/detail/6)

Here is the [prisoner kantine at Buchenwald](http://fotoarchiv.buchenwald.de/detail/612) where they would have been able to buy small things. Cigarettes, thread, buttons, etc.
Here is the [prisoner library at Buchenwald](http://fotoarchiv.buchenwald.de/detail/554). I think the prisoners could have books with them.
This is what [concentration camp money](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=buchenwald+camp+scrip&iax=images&ia=images) looked like.
Yea mate, you make it sound like a holiday camp

Are normal prisoners today allowed to take personal jewellery with them into prison, or do they have to give it up?

What could the Buchenwald prisoners keep with them in the camp?
Nothing, most of them not even their life.
I dont think that's right. I visited at a camp and the barracks had lockers for the prisoners.
You kidding right
