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.
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.
Many of the cases took place in the World Wars. For example, 3 million people in Russia died of typhus during World War I. Also, in World War II, epidemics were found in Japan, Korea, Northern Africa, and Yugoslavia. Typhus was also common in Nazi concentration camps.
Epidemics of typhus struck the German army invading Russia, although the number of deaths is unclear. Similarly, it is impossible to know how many hundreds of thousands of the deaths in Nazi concentration camps were due to typhus, as opposed to other causes.
