This is a good answer, from answers.com. Also, it was usually spelled "Appell"; it was one of many words that took on new, strange (and sinister) meanings under Nazism.

"roll call" (German) - Within the camps, inmates were forced to stand at attention for hours at least twice a day while they were counted. This was always carried out no matter what the weather and often lasted for hours. Often accompanied by beatings and punishments."

Appel was a prisoner functionary in charge of overseeing other prisoners in concentration camps during the Holocaust. They were responsible for enforcing rules, maintaining order, and sometimes assigning work details. Appels were often prisoners themselves who were given certain privileges and power by the camp authorities in exchange for their cooperation.
