How long were Jews in rail cars on the way to concentration camps?

The cattle trucks (boxcars) were moved around by freights trains. The Jews were not let out till they reached their destination. There were no stops for food, water or sanitation. The trains were very slow - possibly deliberately slow, with an average speed over the whole journey of about 15 mph (or less).
Moreover, the trains sometimes called at other camps before reaching Auschwitz (or some other final destination). For example, some trains first went to Majdanek, which is well to the east of Auschwitz. There, at Majdanek, perhaps two trucks were 'emptied' and the train continued its journey.
For Jews from Western Europe a typical journey time was three days and for those transported from Greece to Auschwitz it was five days. Many of the elderly Jews were dead on arrival at Auschwitz.

∙ 12y agoIt varies on where they were deported from and where they arrived to, the timings could take from couple of hours to several days, this is because most trains departed some Jews off different concentration camps. a average time journey is about 9-11 hours

They were ALL located in Germany during the Holocaust besides a few in the taken-over Poland.
