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.

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.
