Best Answer

a Jew in a concentration camp would live no longer than 3 months as they were worked to death with little food and would then be shot so that they could not escape and tell the rest of the world what was happening. they would then be burnt in huge ovens and other Jews would burn them.

___

It varied. At the extermination camps most Jews were killed as soon as possible after arrival.

For those selected for work, 'no longer than 3 months' is not necessarily correct. Some even survived.

That depended on the type of camp. In extermination camps the aim was kill prisoners within 24 hours of arrival. These camps (such as Treblinka) were small and were killing 'facilities' and nothing else. In 'ordinary' concentration camps, the time varied enormously.

Where were the jew's sent to during World War 2?

Later, many millions were arrested and sent to cruel and disgusting camps where they were starved, tortured and experimented on.


Where were concentration camps located during world war 2?

Concentration camps were either forced labor camps or death camps. Either way, most inmates were worked until they died. Filthy conditions and minimal food led to many deaths by starvation and disease. In some cases, hideous medical experiments were performed, often to discover better ways to kill prisoners. The people sent to these camps were treated in a totally malicious and inhumane manner. The death camps were part of Hitler's "Final Solution" (genocide of the Jews), although ethnic Polish populations were subject to the same type of methodical exterminations.
