During the Holocaust, the SS (Schutzstaffel) extracted gold teeth from Jews at the concentration camps. This was a common practice as the Nazis sought to exploit every possible resource, including valuable items like gold. The gold teeth were forcibly removed from the victims' mouths, often causing immense pain and suffering.
