Buchenwald had a rhinoceros

As well as bears, the Buchenwald zoo had a rhinoceros, tigers & monkeys.

The Nazis advertised their zoo, and sold day tickets to Buchenwald concentration camp "sightseers".

Ilse Koch "was always f*cking some guard or other", "close to her horses".

The bears ate either steak, honey and jam, or Jews, depends who you listen to.

"They had deer, wild boar, bears, tigers, foxes. Commandant Koch liked to amuse himself by throwing prisoners into the bear cages. The prisoners built a zoo, too. The zoo had monkeys, pheasants, and even a rhinoceros. The SS opened the game preserve to the public. They advertised it locally and made quite a profit from sightseers. Frau Koch, Use Koch was her name, used to go riding in the riding hall nearly every morning. She was always ****ing some guard or other. I heard that she liked to **** close to her horses, in the riding hall. She liked the band of prisoners to play music for her while she rode. She was so evil that her evil stood out in the middle of all the evil."

"Not far from the camp crematorium, Kommandant Koch maintained a zoo with four bears, five monkeys and a rhinoceros. Koch fed steak to his pet bears while the inmates subsisted on 'Viking Salad' (rotten liver sausage, fish heads and potatoes), and tea made from acorns."

A History of the Holocaust (2004) - Saul S. Friedman

"Karl Koch, built within this nightmarish human "menagerie" a full-scale hunting lodge and zoo. The hunting lodge was spectacular and expensive, following precisely the design of old German falconries and hunting lodges. A performative equivalent of the animal-like existence of the prisoners, the hunting lodges housed falcons and caged wildcats; the prisoners themselves, along with SS guides, gathered deer, wild boar, foxes, pheasants, and other wild game animals for the adjacent preserve. The inmates were also forced to build the zoological garden, which contained monkeys, bears, and even a rhinoceros. To add to the absurdity, the zoo animals ate infinitely better than the inmates: "Althought the camp suffered from a serious food shortage, the zoo animals received a daily meat ration from the prisoner mess. Bears ate honey and jam, monkeys consumed potatoes and milk, oat flakes, and other delicacies." Thus, with imminent slaughter and walking death all around them, the inmates were obliged to capture, maintain feed (sometimes be fed to), and care for the animals and game; the Jews were even forced to pay, through a "voluntary collection," for the replacement of animals that died."

''In the camp there was a cage with a bear and an eagle,'' he said. ''Every day, they would throw a Jew in there. The bear would tear him apart and the eagle would pick at his bones.''
The New York Times - Nov 10, 1988
