What was the causes of the diseases in the concentration camp?

Answer 1

the facilities are not as clean, and a lot of the camps are enclosed and are very harsh in condition. as prisoners come from all over, they bring exotic illnesses that others are more prone to.

They got sick by people like Hitler not feeding them and then he put them in little ovens then they were heated alive! I'm glad I wasn't an alive Jewish person! No ofence to Jews.

sometimes they intentionally poisoned them!

Answer 2

Many prisoners died of starvation, disease, or just being shot or beaten to death.

Note that there is a distinction between the death camps (Auschwitz, Treblinka, et al) and the concentration camps (Dachau, Buchenwald, et al.). The former were explicitly (and solely) dedicated to killing - people sent to an extermination camp were killed immediately, with only a few spared to work the actual death devices (and clean up afterwards). The latter were prison and forced labor camps; while conditions there were brutal and horrifying, they were not set up to explicitly kill people. Rather, the concentration camps were meant to either imprison undesirables (dissenters, criminals, captured foreigners) or as slave labor to work nearby industry. Death was common (as noted above, primarily due to horrible living conditions, exposure, brutality by the guards, or lack of food), but not the purpose of the concentration camp.

Answer 3

It wasn't so much the diseases which were present in the concentration camps, yet a neuro-gas which had been dropped into the chambers. The gas, Zyklon B, was dropped in solid pellet form to release the lethal gases, and killed the victim throguth asphyxiation.

I'm not sure about the deadliest disease but Typhus, a disease spread by lice, was what the people there died of other than starvation and fatigue

Answer 4

there are a lot of germs and it is very nasty. --- Overcrowding, poor sanitation and grossly inadequate food made the prisoners weak and made them easy victims of disease.

Answer 5

the conditions and the mal nutrition

Answer 6

the incinerators (human ovens)
