A Jewish mother (Center) begs a British Medic (right) to take her two sons to hospital immediately. British Medical Posts were overwhelmed by the sheer number of sick so were forced to adopt a systematic evacuation programme. Note the Medic’s protective clothing. Bergen Belsen, April 1945 [795×800]
Specifically Typhus was the biggest problem, when camps on the Eastern Front got overrun prisoners were sent to these camps.
In the space of a few months the population when from less than 10,000 to over 60,000 at the same time thousands of people were dying every month of starvation and disease
