What are some diseases during the Holocaust?

I read a book about Hanneli Goslar (Anne Frank's childhood friend) and it said that she got Jaundice which was a very bad disease which many people died from. Her skin turned yellow, but she knew it was mild. Also, once the Jews became liberated, many starving people ate too much and died from diahrrea. Many people died from starvation and unsanitary conditions. Lice was another thing that spread throughout many people. Hanneli's lungs were diseased when she had a check-up by the doctor after Germany surrendered.


Did Jews die of starvation at Auschwitz?

About 225,000 Peope died from Starvation in Auschwitz. It is doubtful that the number is that high, but many were sent to the gas chambers because they were so thin that they could not do physical labour anymore, most of the people who died of disease only died because theie immune systems were so badly compromised due to starvation. There were also those that were sent to the 'starvation cells', where they were left to die.
