German shot glasses from the Holocust in perfect condition

[damien41]

I have 15 shot glasses from the Holocaust. All written in German. Some of them show the concentration camps on them. they are 24k gold filled. I can't find them anywhere on the internet and shot glass collector's have told me they never seen any shot glasses like these before. Any help would be great. I'm trying to upload pic's of them.

My grand father was a German prisoner of war and was in a Russian concentration camp in Seibria. He's brother was a high ranking S.S official wad put him there for not joining the S.S. Also my grand parents meet in the concentration camp. They came to the U.S. in 1954 and never went back. All relatives killed during ww2. My grandparents were a adopt a family program and got to NYC then moved to upstate NY. My grandfather's story of all this is in the Troy Record news paper arcives. The Wolff family.

My grandparents gave them to me and told me there very rare. If that helps.

Looks like moderns

I don't see any names of Concentration Camps on any of the examples you posted.

What I do see are names of wine regions in Germany. Nothing holocaust on them. Looks like something you would get as a gift from a wine tasting of a particular vineyard.

If they were Nazi in origin, there would be NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) and/or swastikas on them somewhere.

Sorry to all who read this thread. When I did the thread I posted it wrong. I could not figure out how to change the thread. The shot glasses according to my grandparents are from wold war 2. They told me that they dated back to sometime in the 1940's. The wine vineyard was destroyed durning world war 2, then rebuilt 20 years later.

Browsing around and spotted this very old post, but felt it needed some additional comment.

With all due respect to the OP’s family history, these shot glasses have a back-story which is complete fiction. Those are not concentration camps depicted on the glasses, they have nothing to do with the Holocaust, and likely date from the 1970s (or later).

One of them has the arms for the Heilbronn Winery Co-operative. I’m very familiar with that area since my former employer had its R&D Centre there and I was a frequent visitor as well as getting to know their local wines. Although the co-operative has its roots in 1888 with the founding of the Weingärtnergesellschaft Heilbronn, the glass also references Erlenbach and Weinsberg. They didn’t join the co-operative until the 1970s.

One of them references the Deutsches Weintor company, which didn’t exist until 1956 and that glass also has a reference to “Qualitätswein”, the German equivalent for the French “Appellation Contrôlée”. That wasn’t instituted as a standard until the German Wine Act of 1971.
