During the holocaust, Gleiwitz concentration camp in Gliwice, Poland, was operational between March of 1944 and January of 1945. During this time the camp held around 1,300 prisoners. It is thought that many, if not all, of these prisoners died.
The Prisoners of Time was created in 1987.
Anywhere from 1-100. There really are no records of how many people died each day, but the fact that so many came at a time that it would overflow with prisoners made lots believe that many to many more were killed in a day.
I visited Andersonville and the Prisoner of War Museum last summer. I believe the statistics were that 45,000 prisoners passed through the gates of Andersonville Prison camp or also known as Camp Sumter. The total deaths for its entire operation was 15,000. What is amazing is that one Union soldier secretly kept records of each death and place of burial, such there were only about 200 who were Unknown graves. I think the maximum confined at one time was about 15,000---but I'm not sure. The camp originally was only 16 acres and later they expanded it to 26 acres. However the small stream that flowed through the camp and the swamp bottom land took up some of the space. And there was a 5-foot dead line around the inside of the walls of the prison that no prisoner could cross. That reduced the effective size of the camp even more.

Near the town of Andersonville in southwest Georgia It was a horrible Civil War Prison Camp there was open-air stockade, enclosed by 20 foot-high log walls, grew to 26 acres, but remained horribly overcrowded and conditions became more and more intolerable. Running in the middle of the camp was a stagnant, befouled stream, absurdly named Sweet Water Branch, used as a sewer as well as for drinking and bathing. There were no barracks; prisoners were forbidden to construct shelters, and while some did erect tents and flimsy lean-tos, most were left fully exposed to the elements. Medical treatment was virtually nonexistent. Sounds like HELL! Nearly 13000 died there.......
Anne Frank died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. While she was separated from her family at the time of her death, she was not alone as there were many other prisoners in the camp with her.
they had to be naked all the time they either asked to go left or right the sad thing is they died either way
Grant had ended the system of prisoner exchange, so the numbers were increasing all the time.
The camp was liberated on 15 April 1945. However, at the time of liberation a typhus epidemic was raging in the camp, and many of the prisoners were desperately ill and malnourished. Even after liberation nearly 14,000 died of disease and malnutrition. It took some months before it was safe to let prisoners simply leave the camp.
To try to get them to confess.
The site was selected in Sumter County, near Andersonville, GA, and the new prison called Camp Sumpter opened in February 1864. The prison encompassed 16.5 acres but was expanded to 26 acres. The most PWs there at one time was 32,000. After the fall of Atlanta, they began to move prisoners to Millen, Georgia, and Florence, South Carolina. By December, only 1,359 were left. Sadly, several of the prisoners were freed and sent back home through Memphis where they borded the SULTANA for a trip up the Mississippi River. The SULTANA's boiler exploded and many of the PWs were killed.
