During World War II, it is estimated that approximately 1.5 million Jews died from typhus, primarily in concentration and extermination camps. The disease, exacerbated by overcrowding, poor sanitation, and lack of medical care, contributed significantly to the high mortality rates among the Jewish population during the Holocaust. Typhus outbreaks were prevalent in camps such as Auschwitz and others, where conditions were dire. Overall, the Holocaust led to the deaths of about six million Jews, with typhus being one of many factors in this tragic loss of life.

first answer:The majority of jews who died during the holocaust were victims of typhus. They had a typhus epidemic which was helped along by strategic allied bombing.correct answer:Thousands of Jews were killed by typhus, such as at Bergen-Belsen camp north-east of Hannover, thousands were killed by starvation, thousands died from various other diseases; however millions were murdered in gas chambers & by firing squads.Also strategic bombing did not make the typhus epidemic worse. The spread of this type disease is made worse by the close proximity of infected people to others. German camps did exactly what the name of these camps imply, they 'concentrated' them in a tight space, thus creating the conditions for the spread of any typhus. The Germans never intended to treat infected prisoners, just prevent the spread of typhus beyond the camp.If anything, strategic bombing disrupted German rail traffic making it harder for the Germans to transport Jews to the Concentration & Death Camps.
