How long did people stay at the Holocaust camps?

People sometimes were in concentration camps for a very short period, but usually because they were killed as soon as they arrived. Others were held in the camps for years, until the Allies rescued them or they eventually died from the horrific conditions they were forced to endure.


Compare and contrast prison camps and concentration camps during World War 2?

In the Pacific theater, the Japanese military outlook provided no mercy for Allied soldiers that surrendered. The Japanese believed in fighting to the death. Because of this, Japanese prison camps were essentially concentration camps. Allied prisoners died in the thousands from disease, overwork, and malnourishment. However in Europe, they were distinct. Concentration camps housed those deemed unfit, or in some way non-Aryan. People were put there not because they were soldiers, but because they were civilians. Allied prisoners of war in Europe generally received better treatment, and were not put to death on the scale of those in concentration camps.


How long did the concentration camps stay in existence?

Auschwitz (or to be more precise, the Auschwitz complex of camps) lasted from May 1940 till January 1945. However, its function changed during that time. Initially, it was a very harsh concentration camp, but in 1942 it became an extermination camp, too. In addition there were about 45 further sub-camps.

As early as the first months of 1942, word was already filtering back that the "work camps" were death houses.

Being Jewish, the Franks, like all Jews at that time, dedicated their lives to trying to stay out of the camps.

The prisoners of the concentration camps were housed in military styled barracks. The plank bunks were stacked three high with four prisoners per bunk

How long did you stay in a concentration camp?

That varied a lot, especially in the early stages. In the 1930s a few lucky people were released after a few weeks or months. However, most prisoners were held indefinitely or until they died of were killed. For example, Ernst Thaelmann, who had led the Communist Party of Germany was held from 1933 till 1944, when he was murdered. Obviously, in the extermination camps people were killed soon after arrival or worked to death on grossly inadequate food.
