Actually, there are quite a few books bound in human skin.
Before the horrors of the holocaust, it was not uncommon for charity hospitals(and sometimes prisons) to sell the byproducts of unclaimed cadavers for various purposes-anatomical specimens, teaching skeletons(these mostly come from India these days, a rushing trade in human bones for curios was stopped when it got too ghoulish), and the like.
The skin was tanned and made into wallets, cigarette cases or used to bind books, often in craft shops on site.
Many of the 'horrors' of Dachau were little more than the standard procedures of many contemporary prisons.
It was the evil intent of the Nazi regime that made them horrible.
As to the extermination camps, well, that still makes me shudder, there was evil, squared and cubed.
The liberation of the camps brought about many prison reforms-things were seen, and the world blanched.
Until the evil began again.
