Epidemics raged at Auschwitz in World War 2

Cold epidemics rage Europe, some hospitals over-filled with cold patients

Strange enough colds were not common at Auschwitz in Poland. But the human louse was a deadly plague there and Auschwitz had several epidemics caused by the human louse.

Humans have three types of body lice, each one a problem. But the deadly one is the Body Louse. But the Pubic Hair Louse, the Crab Louse also was a problem and so all incoming residents were shaved or the lice would spread to next person.

If you want to learn about Auschwitz you must learn about the human lice, their history, place of infestation, and treatment.
