More Joy

Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
That One Sound

'Joy Division eh? What's all that about?'

'The name of a brothel German soldiers used during the second world war'. 

WHAT!?! Umm, yeah, Wikipedia knows:

In World War II, Nazi Germany established brothels in the concentration camps (Lagerbordell or Freudenabteilungen "Joy Divisions") to increase productivity among inmates. Their use was restricted to the more privileged Aryan prisoners, primarily the Kapos, or "prisoner functionaries", and the criminal element. Jewish inmates were prohibited from using the brothels according to rules against racial mixing. In the end, the camp brothels did not produce any noticeable increase in the prisoners' productivity levels but, instead, created a market for coupons among the more privileged camp prisoners.

The women forced into these brothels came mainly from the women-only Ravensbrück concentration camp, except for Auschwitz, which used its own prisoners. In combination with the German military brothels in World War II, it is estimated that at least 34,140 female inmates were forced into sexual slavery during the Third Reich.

Ka-tzetnik 135633 wrote a book (House of Dolls) about it.

Then I found this post about Joy Plots:

Let’s talk about plots and joy. The Joy of Plots, if you will. Also, Joy Plots.
Henrik Lindberg coined the term Joy Plot on the weekend , and it’s quite clever. Not only does it describe a plot of things people enjoy, it’s also a nice reference to that Joy Division album cover everybody knows even if they’ve never heard the actual music.
