How did these people in ghettos and concentration camps try to stay alive?

I have just finished reading an incredible, short book on this subject. "" is written by Viktor Frankl. Dr. Frankl survived three years in Auschwitz and Dachau. The book is very short, but incredibly informative and gives the reader a first hand glimpse into the psychology of survival as well as the great lengths people were willing to go to in order to survive, even if it meant to continue living in a concentration camp. I would highly recommend you read it.
But of course survival at a death camp was different, as only a very small precentage, maybe one from every thousand (at best) was given the chance to live for more than a few hours, it was almost pure luck if you were one that caught the eye of the German doing the selecting.

- Chance (luck)
- One state of health on arrival
- The kind of work one was made to do. Obviously, those in office jobs had a much better chance of survival than those used for heavy manual labour.
- Length of stay.
