Muselmann (pl. Muselmänner, from the German, meaning Mussulman (Muslim); in Polish Muzułman) was a term use among inmates of World War II Nazi concentration camps to refer to those suffering from a combination of starvation (known also as "hunger disease") and exhaustion and who were resigned to their impending death. The Muselmann inmates exhibited severe emaciation and physical weakness, an apathetic listlessness regarding their own fate, and unresponsiveness to their surroundings.
