This was a hospital building used for surgery. The original inscription is still above the entrance of the door. Many SS doctors trained and practiced their skills on prisoners. Many prisoners died during the surgeries that were performed on them. The conditions for patients in the camp hospitals were an affront to every known concept of caring for the sick. The prisoners, most of them extremely exhausted, often unconscious or in agony, lay in overcrowded rooms, in shirts darkened with filth or, often naked, on paper pads soaked with excrement, urine, and pus. Fleas and lice filled the hospital premises. In addition to this, rats were everywhere in the hospitals. At night, they gnawed the limbs of the dead women and attacked the unconscious or weakest prisoners. Patients received smaller food rations than prisoners with work assignments. With the increasing labor requirements, the SS began taking steps in the second half of 1942 to decrease the death rate. Generally, these were superficial measures. The SS assigned the camp hospitals the role of reducing the prisoner death rate—in relation to prisoners who seemed likely to return to labor in a short time. For the gravely ill, the camp hospitals continued to be instruments of annihilation. |
