Marcello, at first I thought also that he was talking about poor and disenfranchised people everywhere, and in a way I believe this is so. But the image of a woman "without hair and without a name" is from the camps.

I typed in the history of what that phrase seems to be about, then decided it was too distressing for this forum and erased it. (It made me want to cry.) Anyway, to me it does seem to be talking specifically about the camps although the poem can be read in a more generalized way.
