Typhus vaccine would be tested on prisoners deliberately infected with typhus. Jewish hospitals in ghettos would be burned-along with patients and staff-if typhus was present. In camps, even suspected typhus cases would be killed in the gas chambers or through intracardiac injections, along with their circle of associates. More than 1.5 million concentration camp prisoners died of typhus, a preventable disease. Only a handful of doctors would ever be prosecuted for their crimes.. »
