Through tightly packed cattle cars, with one small window (packed in like sardines)
The most common means of transportation for Jewish and many other prisoners in WW2 was by rail. The Jews were transported in enclosed boxcar by train, and it was dark and packed full. They were not fed at all during the journey and there were no lavatory facitilies. Many died due to starvation, thirst and weather conditions.

There they were divided by sex and age into different parts of the camp, sorted crudely into those suitable for work as slaves, or for more immediate death, mainly by gassing in chambers disguised as shower-blocks.
Others were killed by various inhuman experiments by supposed doctors - well, some at least were genuine doctors who'd become infected by Nazism. One experiment was intended to give the Luftwaffe information on pilots' likely survival if shot down in the cold North Sea - the victims were immersed in freezing water and timed to unconsciousness.
The whole thing was murder on an industrial scale, with the victims arriving in train-loads - trains of cattle-wagons or goods vans not carriages. Towards the end of the war in Europe the size of the task was beginning to overwhelm the system, and conditions in the satellite concentration-camps that served the extermination camps became utterly dreadful.
The bodies were cremated, leaving large quantities of ash that in some cases were ploughed into the ground to try to hide the evidence, but photographs taken by the Allies showed truly sickening scenes, such as railway wagons full of emaciated corpses intended for taking to the crematoria.
People "got into" the death camps - but few came out again.
