Because of the enormity of the Holocaust, it’s easy to forget that WWI was a catastrophe for European Jewery.
Unlike today, the “Spanish” Flu wasnt widely reported by the media to prevent large scale panic.
Between typhus, TB, food insecurity, and the threat of actual programs (“actual” meaning the threat of violence and death, rather than a park being temporarily locked), it is completely possible that there are few surviving responses that deal specifically with the SF.
