Jezus H Christ..... how many times do I have to correct this bullshit!
1. This is NOT I repeat, NOT a swimming pool!? It is water reserve in case of a fire. You find them all over Birkenau. Does that mean that there were many many swimming pools in Auschwitz? No, it does not. I am fed up of this stupid crap that keeps being sprouted.
2. Under the command of the lunatic Arthur Liebehenschel for the space of approx 5 months, he allowed functionary prisoners to jump into the water a few times. Does that mean it was a swimming pool? No, it does not. It means that a few people jumped into water that was used to put out fires.
3. Yes, of course, Auschwitz had a hospital...... but you had more chance of dying in it than you did in the rest of the camp. Disease was rife and spread like wildfire. Selections were common because the sick were a waste of space and had no right to love, they were an inconvenience.
There was no equipment or supplies to help the sick and wounded. No bandages, no disinfectant, no medication to fight these diseases, and God forbid that you were injured. You wouldn't have received morphine to help with the pain, you would die of sepsis or if you were severely beaten then you would die of internal bleeding.
People dropped like flies, and IF that is a big IF they survived, then they were very, very lucky.
4. Ah, a maternity ward...... yes, that place where babies were drowned at the start of this "ward" opening. Where women had to watch their newborns starve because they had no milk to feed them. Where Jewish women were not allowed to hold their children, and they had watched them die because they had no right to survive. Where women were forced to go back to work after hours of giving birth because if they didn't, they would be killed.
The rest of this thread below is filled with such bullshit and crap. Stop listening to such idiots...... end of rant.

There was a simming pool at Auschwitz, a maternity ward, a hospital 🏥, and lots of forensic reports of the use of Zyklon B in the prisoner rooms. No not for extermination but for the purpose of keeping the prisoners alive. This was used as a means to eliminate lice and keep the spread of Typhus under control.
Among those SS communications, there are internal reports about keeping the death of the inmates down, and discussion on how to fix the problems.
