It is because of that assertion that I include the following brief quote from Erna Rubinstein's book. Clearly, the Nazis had a different concept of "disease control" than Mr. Gannon and friends would have you believe... "The Germans had discovered that typhus and typhoid fever were spreading in the ghetto. On Sunday, 14 March, 1943, a military attachment of SS men headed by the ghetto Commanders Get and Haas marched into the ghetto. At their command, two thousand people were assembled on Plac Zgody and the surrounding streets. Troops were sent into the hospital to select those who perhaps wouldn't recover soon enough to go to work, and another commando was sent to the hospital for communicable diseases; everyone including the nurses and doctors were shot to death. An additional seven hundred inhabitants of the ghetto were executed on Plac Zgody. Two thousand others were shipped to Auschwitz. An overpowering dread spread through the ghetto when the streets strewn with dead bodies and the walls covered with human blood were discovered the next morning."
