By hiding with gentiles. Answer 2 True, many people, including Germans, hid Jewish Families, sometimes for the length of the War, at great risk to themselves, AND don't forget, Risk to their own Families as well. However, if the question is about survival INSIDE a Camp, then this was in many ways, up the the persons way of thinking! If the Prisoner thought of his Family, The Past, Tomorrow, then in a short time their Spirit was broken, and they 'just' died. The Secret was not to think at all, Not to think about anything except, finding food, keeping clean as best you could, in short, keeping your humanity, and keeping out of the 'eye' of any passing Guard. If you escaped selection for gassing, escaped being picked out by a Guard, escaped talking about your past to anybody, and did not starve to death, froze to death, beaten to death, but kept your head down, and thought only about this second, and not the next one, you MIGHT, just might, live until tomorrow, and then it all started all over again. Don't forget, the main objective of the Nazi's, was to break peoples Spirit, and turn them into closer to an animal state, before killing them. To turn them into Non-persons! So you will see, that it was very hard to survive for even a short time, but some, not many it's true, managed to survive for weeks, months, and the odd one, for a year, or even more. The Human Spirit is very strong in some people.

What did people die of during the Holocaust?

The majority of Holocaust victims were murdered - by gassing and by deliberate malnutrition. (They were forced to do hard labour on very little food). In some parts of Eastern Europe, the Nazis also conducted mass shootings. They were also killed by disease. There were some that went into hiding such as Anne Frank, and some were found. There are still Holocaust survivors today. Anne Frank and her sister Margot Frank were killed the same way their mom died. Disease. Otto Frank was the only Frank that survived the Holocaust.
