Presumably this means the extermination camp at Birkenau - just under a million. (this was an answer when the question read "How many Jews were killed at the extermination camp")
To answer the current question: about three and a half million.
Jews were generally sent to extermination camps. Many were killed on arrival, others were worked to death. Very few survived.
# Killed in open air shootings - about 1.3 million # Died of general privation (for example, in ghettos) - 800,000 # Killed in extermination camps and concentration camps - 3.6-3.7 million
65,000 Jews were killed.
The total number of Jews killed by the Nazis was about 6 million. Just over half of these died in extermination and concetration camps. The others were killed in mass open air shootings or perished from starvation and disease in ghettos.
one of the most common camps that he Jews would be sent to was Auschwitz but there were many more in places in Germany.
About six million Jews were killed by the Nazis - mostly between June 1941 and May 1945. Many were killed in mass open-air shootings, especially in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus Latvia and Lithuania. Many were starved to death in the ghettos that the Nazis established in Poland and elsewhere. The number killed in extermination camps is lower than six million.
In concentration camps that were not officially extermination camps, disease was the primary cause of death. However, the exact numbers are unknown.
what was Hitler's purpose for sending Jews to concentration camps and what is a concentration camp.
Hitler killed Jews, Nazis killed them, there were torture devices, and concentration camps. Many more things too.
Most extremination camps were placed in Poland as it was a homeland for many Jews in Europe. Ex. Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Out of 8000 jews, more than 7000 were smuggled to Sweden. About 450 were sent to concentration camps, and none were sent to extermination camps. All in all 102 Danish Jews died during the Holocaust
In Eastern Europe many were sent first to ghettos and then to extermination and concentration camps. In Western Europe they were sent first to transit camps and 'collection points', then to extermination and concentration camps. Note that in many parts of the Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia and Lithuania enormous numbers were killed in mass open-air shootings by the Nazi mobile killing units.
