You need to know that the hair was cut from the heads of Jews, not as some form of punishment, but to suppress the spread of head lice throughout the camp. Germans, being a very practical people, didn't throw anything away in those times, but found a use for the hair in manufacturing items for the war effort. In America, women saved their old nylons for the war effort, but you never see a room filled with old nylons.
