Bathing Facility at Josefstadt

Notes:

Sanitation was a critical problem in crowded in prison camps and POW's at Josefstadt bathed in these tubs in the bath house. Each pair of bath tubs had an individual hot water heater. The elimination of vermin was an important component for the prevention of the outbreak of epidemics.
