Yes, for the people held as slaves, life was quite dangerous. On the slave ships they were in close quarters for weeks on end where they had little food or water, no fresh air, and no sanitary facilities. Many got sick and died on the ocean voyage. Their conditions were a bit better (the weaker having been weeded out on the trip) once they got into the hands of owners because they now had an individual, specific dollar value and most owners (not all) took at least minimum care of their property.

Why were there just men in auscwitz?
Most Jewish women, all children, elderly people, sick people, and disabled people would be killed immediately on arrival in the gas chambers and cremated. Men, and a few women, would be used as slave labor, to dispose of the corpses. When the slave labor became too sick and disabled to work, they were gassed, and replaced by other men. Women who were saved, were used in other ways by the camp, as slave labor.

What do they do to sick slaves?
it depends on where you were. If you where a slave coming over to north America on a ship to be sold and you got sick before you reached land they would simply throw you overboard as they wouldn't want a sick slave to get all the other slaves sick. (Sickness would spread very quickly aboard slave ships as slaves were being stuffed into small rooms) If a slave became ill on a plantation it would have to be immediately reported to the overseer or master. The mistress of the plantation was usually responsible for the sick slaves.
