Dorota Sula: “Medical Care” at the Gross-Rosen Concentration Camp (1940—1945). Muzeum Gross-Rosen 2024. 


First chapter presents the organization of medical service, both those that were part of the camp personnel and those recruited to it from the prisoners. An attempt was also made to describe how the camp hospitals and sick bays were established, how they expanded and how did they look like. Chapter two depicts diseases that spread in the main camp and its sub-camps and the treatment of prisoners. The first topic presented in the chapter describes preventive measures that were being taken in the camp. Other issue presented in the chapter are: fight against epidemics, dental “care”, mental illnesses and disorders and also the “Muselmänner” problem. The main topic of third and last chapter is death and its main causes: diseases, extreme exhaustion, but in many cases it was expedited by members of the camp personnel. The book has been supplemented by documents and photos included both in the text and in the annex. Also a list of prisoners working as doctors in the camp hospitals, sick bays and ambulatories was added as an appendix.
