It was not diseases that killed most Jews during the Holocaust, it was murder by gunshots, poison, starvation, carbon monoxide, fire, etc. Although many Jews died in death camps from various contagious diseases or untreated illnesses, it was only in advance of their planned murder. In many cases the Jews were intentionally infected by various viruses or bacteria by the Germans operating the death camps. Some unethical or misinformed people have tried to claim (falsely) that most of the Jews that died 'just got sick and died'. That would be a lie. It was murder, not the bird flu.
