In concentration camps the prisoners were housed mainly in low wooden huts (often referred to as 'barracks') and had to sleep in shared wooden bunks. They had to work very long hours (up to 11 hours a day, six days a week) on very little food (and no pay apart from the occasional low value 'bonus coupon' at some camps). The camps were run by the SS who were ardent believers in physical punishment. If the prisoners did not work to the satisfaction of the guards they were usually whipped (25 lashes on the bare back) ... For disobeying the guards there were harsher punishments.
Conditions for prisoners in Nazi concentration camps were extremely bad. They suffered from starvation, were used as subjects of medical experiments, were tortured or killed purely at the whim of the guards and staff of the camps, and were abused in all possible ways. And most of those who survived all this abuse were then killed in gas chambers. Very few people survived.
The conditions were very poor. They were put into carts of 80 people and they only got two buckets of water for the entire journey and barley got enough food to last through one day. It was obviously extremely crowded and people got sick very easily. Few people also went insane.
