No Jews would've died in Monowitz (a subcamp of Auschwitz), as it was a a Labor Education Camp for non-Jewish inmates.

It estimated that few inmates died in Monowitz; many of them were even payed for working to develop synthetic rubber and oils for the German war effort.

Auschwitz III (also known as Monowitz or Buna) was a harsh concentration camp, whatever its official title. It had Jewish inmates as well as non-Jews, for example Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi, who have both written well known books about their experiences there. The camp was, perhaps, less harsh than, for example, the Auschwitz Women's camp, but it had a high Death Rate. Taking the various labour camps in the Auschwitz group as a whole, over half those prisoners who were registered there did not leave alive according to research done by the Auschwitz Museum in the 1980s and 1990s. (About 190,000 registered prisoners left the Auschwitz group of camps alive. That doesn't of course mean that they survived as many were moved to other camps and perished there - for example, Anne and Margot Frank).

As registered prisoners were sometimes moved from one sub-camp to another estimating figures at individual sections is tricky. However, the source quoted below gives an estimate of 10,000 Monowitz prisoners killed ...

According to the Wikipedia article on Monowitz:

The life expectancy of Jewish workers at Buna Werke was three to four months, for those working in the outlying mines, only one month. Those deemed unfit for work were gassed at Birkenau or sent "to Birkenau" (nach Birkenau), according to a euphemism used in I.G. Farben record books.

How many people died in nazi concetration camps?

The biggest camps had about 16,000 inmates at any one time. As people were worked to death they were replaced by new arrivals. At the extermination camps, such as Treblinka II and the Birkenau section of Auschwitz, most newly arrived Jews were gassed as quickly as possible after arrival. From about mid to late 1944 onwards many prisoners were moved from the camps in Poland to camps in Germany itself, which then experienced a huge increase in numbers.
