Very few young children survived the Holocaust, once they reached the camps. The Nazi Germans judged them unsuitable for forced labour, and immediately executed them. Older children, teenagers, if they were strong enough were allowed to work, but few survived the mistreatment. Boys had to struggle to survive in harsh working conditions. Many young girls were forced into prostitution for the soldiers, and suffered great mental and physical anguish.
Some young children were saved when their parents sent them away to distant relatives or gave them to non-jewish neighbors, but these were exceptional cases. Most parents thought that it would be safer to keep their family together and so usually they all went to the concentration camp. Once inside the camp, almost no children escaped. Some grew up and survived to end the war in the camps, when they were finally liberated by the Allied Army.

Children was putted into the woman camps and they could escape with help from a adult(s)

Is a female half Jewish when the father is Jewish and the mother is not?
Under traditional Jewish law, Jewishness is inherited through the mother so that only children of Jewish mothers are considered to be Jewish. As a result, a Jewish man who wants his children to be accepted in a traditional Jewish community will seek to marry only a Jewish woman. Some of the more liberal Jewish communities now accept the children of Jewish fathers as Jewish when they are raised in the Jewish faith. In addition, there have always been processes through which non-Jews an convert to Judaism. This would permit a non-Jewish woman to convert, marry a Jewish man and have their children recognized as Jewish in traditional communities. It also permits the children of a non-Jewish mother to be raised and accepted as Jews even in traditional communities. In Judaism there's no such thing as "half-Jewish."
