How would you rationalize the tattooing of serial numbers on Jews incarcerated at Auschwitz? Many were small children when they were given the tattoo.

I've seen in person with my own eyes the tattoo on a couple of elderly Jews.

I also attended high school with several Jewish kids who were children, grandchildren, niece and nephews of Auschwitz survivors. They said that their relatives still had the fading tattoos.
