Quote
"Jedem das Seine" is a German proverb meaning "to each his own" or "to each what he deserves." Used as it was by the Nazis, the inmates could only read this slogan once they were trapped inside the camp and the gate to freedom has clanged shut.

Lagerordnung: was the "Disciplinary and Penal Code", first written for Dachau concentration camp, which became the uniform code at all SS concentration camps in the Third Reich on January 1, 1934. Also known as the Strafkatalog (Punishment Catalogue), it detailed the regulations for prisoners. SS guards were instructed to report violations of the code to the commandant's office. The Concentration Camps Inspectorate was responsible for execution of the resulting punishment, which was carried out without verification of the allegations or any possibility of vindication.
