People were sent to concentration camps without trial and without any sentence. They were held indefinitely.
Until they died or freed.
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.
The size of concentration camps varied greatly across Europe. There were many concentration camps in Germany, the most well-known being Auschwitz. Auschwitz had over 100 thousand prisoners, but other concentration camps had as many as 1 thousand prisoners to tens of thousands.
Just before the Allies arrived to liberate the camps, the Nazis would force prisoners on a so-called "Death March". During these marches, prisoners would be forced to walk until they succumbed to the elements, starved to death, or were randomly shot by a guard. Some of the camps ran right up until the day they were liberated by the Allies.

anything from two hours to ten days.
Most of the population was moved from cities to the concentration camps by rail. The duration of the trips varied depending on starting and ending points, but were typically measured in days of travel.
