I was watching the video in this post:

I noticed how many of the inmates wear civilian clothing, but when we see pictures of camp inmates, we ONLY see them wearing the striped prison pajamas. Many, if not most, did, of course, but some definitely were allowed the privilege of wearing civilian clothes.

Although we know the number of people who died in the camps (about 273,000), it's difficult to find out the actual numbers of people who were interned at the camps, but I'd estimate somewhere between one to two million. Of those, there were different classes, and many were criminals, including communists and other insurrectionists, and people who defied the authority of the state (such as Jehovah's Witnesses). There were also those who were deported because they were illegal aliens. These and many others would warrant prison clothing because they broke various laws and were de facto criminals.

I would imagine there were some who were not criminals but whose skills and talents were useful enough in the camps to warrant better treatment. Can anyone verify this for me and provide a source? Thanks in advance.
