Usually on the underside of the forearm.

Initially they had the number tattooed on the chest, but towards the end it was changed to the arm, of course most of the survivors were later arrivals, so the tattooing on the arm is more notorious

What did concentration camp factories produce?
Some camps were specifically set up as munitions factories, and prisoners lucky enough to be sent to one of these got slightly better food and slightly better accommodations than prisoners in the death camps.

The death camps produced nothing for the war effort but recyclables (shoe leather, human hair, etc.) Most of the "work details" in places like Auschwitz were designed to work the prisoners to death - nothing more.
