Tragic Typhus Epidemic Analysis

Disease and plague, something that has been with man since the beginning, always challenging them, forcing them to adapt and change. Plagues and Peoples by William H. McNeill is a book explaining the hardships, facts, and evidence of how plagues caused man to adapt and move. Documented encounters with disease, ranging from the height of the Chinese empire, to the medieval kingdoms in Europe and Spain, as well as the colonization of the Americas, and the great genocide of the native peoples of South America. The illusory idea that man had won the battle in 1974 was quickly proven wrong yet again, for man may never win the battle against disease, and forever be in a constant battle. McNeill’s claim of fact as well as Ethos allowed him to write a consistent story including rhetoric devices, showing the true purpose of the informative book and conveying his main point of how plagues shaped the course of humankind development.

In the book "Letters From Rifka" Rifka and her family, except Saul, got a potentially deadly disease called Typhus. this choice an challenge will give information on this disease like how it is contracted, where it is most common, symptoms, treatment, severity, and the long-term effects of this disease.

The horrible Nazi doctors experimented on Jews by freezing them, then trying to revitalize them. They were trying to find the best way to revive German Pilots after they jumped into icy water. They didn’t want to experiment on the pilots themselves and have them die, so they experimented on terrified, starving children. They would either put them outside naked in freezing cold weather, or put them in an icy tank

Did you know the Nazis have been doing research on diseases? In the book, “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” Skloot explains how the Nazis are associated with using prisoners to do research on diseases.

“I will remember that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife and the chemist’s drug.” (Louis Lasagna). However, the doctors of the holocaust didn’t care, and used the victims as guinea pigs for the results. The medical experiments performed during the Holocaust had horrific outcomes for those experimented upon.

Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eye­wit­ness Account by Dr. Mik­lós Nyis­zlI is a non-fiction mem­oir of a Jew­ish Hun­gar­ian med­ical doc­tor who per­formed alongside Dr. Josef Mengele in the Nazi death camp Auschwitz from 1944-45 to conduct “research” on Jews. This book is a lot to swallow and doesn’t beat around the bush, it’s straight to the point.

In the Holocaust people only thought about the deaths, not the little amount of people who lived. Today you are going to learn about a guy named Elie Weisel who was a Holocaust surivor.

The Holocaust took a great toll on many lives in one way or another, one in particular being Vladek

To further explain, two Polish doctors named, Eugene Lazowksi and Stanislaw Matulewicz, discovered a way to help the Jews in the German concentration camps. Matulewicz and Lazowksihad a plan to save Jews by creating a fake typhus epidemic(Fake Epidemic Saves). To create this fake epidemic the doctors injected patients with typhus cells, and when a blood test was taken, the patient would test positive for typhus. However, when a patient is injected, they do not have any of symptoms or the actual typhus disease. The doctors tested this on their Jewish friend who was on a special leave from a concentration camp in Germany. The Jew was sent back to the concentration camp and tested positive for typhus. This fake epidemic the doctor's created saved over 8,000 Jews who faced death in the German concentration camps(Budanovic). Along with typhus saving lives, the disease was a threat to many people living in the ghettos during

It was called the Hypothermia experiment. These were conducted in the Dachau concentration camp between August 1942 and May 1943. It was performed to find out the best way to treat hypothermia victims. It was targeted for German air force pilots who were shot down in the North sea. The people used where male civilian prisoners from different religions and nationalities as well as Russian prisoners of war. Their participation was usually forced, but occasionally people "volunteered" in response to promises, rarely fulfilled, of release from the camp or commutation of the death

Simon Wiesenthal was not only an honorable survivor, but also a contributor the Holocaust, that happened in World War Two. After his horrible incident at the concentration camps, Wiesenthal’s health was back to normal and he began research on possible evidences to prove the Nazi’s atrocious behaviours toward the Jews. Wiesenthal worked in many legal and corporate offices, to gain his status, along with

The Holocaust is arguably the most terrifying demonstration of the extent of what human beings can do to each other. The tragedy and pain the Jewish faced in those solemn years would take more than a mere paragraph or two to describe. However, even in the darkest times, there are those that continue to defy; from small, secretive acts of kindness, to the largest sacrifice of laying down their lives. While Nicholas Winton did not die for his causes, his actions have memorialize him as the man who saved 669 Czechoslovakian children, most whom were Jewish, to the shores of Great Britain, before the brink of World War II.

When Josef Mengele’s bones were found, the world let out a sigh of relief. For over forty years survivors of the Nazi death camps, known as Auschwitz, were haunted by the vision of the handsome, well-dressed man with a caring smile who pointed his white-gloved finger either left or right deciding who lived and who died. Those who passed this man and survived have always remembered him as the Angel of Death. Dr. Mengele is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands at Auschwitz concentration camp. Josef Mengele’s horrific experiments prove that he is the most dehumanizing person in history.

Eugene Lazowski was a young man who just finished medical school and was in the Polish army. He was stationed with his family in Rozwadow, Poland. Dr. Lazowski was a member of the Polish Red Cross. He lived
