The number of victims affected by typhus varies widely depending on outbreaks and geographic regions. Historically, typhus has caused millions of deaths, particularly during wartime and in crowded living conditions. In modern times, cases are less frequent, but outbreaks can still occur, especially in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to healthcare. Precise statistics fluctuate, so current data from health organizations is necessary for the latest figures.

The Jewish victims were gassed or shot; others were worked to death on grossly insufficient food, and others died of typhus and other diseases that swept through the camps.
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.
Anne Frank was diagnosed with typhus, a highly contagious and potentially fatal infectious disease caused by a bacteria called Rickettsia. She contracted the disease while in a concentration camp during World War II.
