Sickness and Illnesses
Throughout the days living in concentration camps, there were very few ways of getting aid or anything beyond basic medical treatment. The living conditions in the camps were crowded, filthy and many prisoners suffered from physical injuries including but not limited to, broken limbs, exposed wounds, sores from flogging, and injuries from torture. During the winter months, many prisoners suffered from viruses and infections such as pneumonia, common colds, frostbite and tuberculous. Prisoners were not fed nutritious meals, many of their meals, consist of hot water with potatoes skins and bread. Because of this prisoners were not able to fight off their illnesses and diseases because of their malnourishment and lack of healthcare resulting in rapid death. It was estimated that 500,000 Jews died in the ghettos of disease and starvation.
