the open wiring would have presented a substantial fire hazard

So? Why would they care about safety in a death camp?

A better question is why they went through the trouble of shaving prisoners' heads and fumigating clothing to reduce the spread of typhus. The answer is that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a death camp at all.

Because they sold the hair and clothing.

Who wants Jew hair? I'll pay good money to keep that shit away from me.

What's the cope for them asking for typhus vaccines from the US (which was repeatedly denied)?

Don't want your prisoners to die before you work them to do death.

Once you're ready to off them who cares about their safety? Ethical execution methods were far from a priority. Who cares if they are dead or not when sent to the oven?
