How many Jews were taken to concentration camps?

Answer 1

About 4-4.5 million Jews were sent to different concentration camps in World War 2. Most were gassed or shot soon after arrival. A further 1.5 million Jews were killed in other ways in the Holocaust.

Answer 2

The Auschwitz Museum has provided the following estimates, which have remained largely unchanged since 1989.

• Number of people sent to Auschwitz (or to be more precise, the Auschwitz complex of camps): approximately 1.3 million - over 85% of them Jews.
• Number of inmates who left the Auschwitz complex alive: Just under 190,000. (Many were transferred to other camps and perished there or died on death marches: 'left Auschwitz alive' does not mean 'survived the holocaust'). Killed in the Auschwitz complex of camps: 1.1 million, of whom at least 85% were Jews.

The estimates are deliberately cautious and based on documentary evidence together with estimates for numbers arriving by the transports recorded. In the last 20 years or so, most of the scholarly debate has been in the range 1.1-1.5 million.

Answer 3

Roughly a little over 6.9 million Jews.

_______________

That figure is far too high. Of the estimated 6 million or so Jews killed by the Nazis, Raul Hilberg estimates that at least 2 million were killed outside camps - in mass open-air shootings or perished in ghettos (starvation and disease). The number of Jewish camp survivors was under 100,000.

Answer 4

if you (as i suspect you are) calliing all camps 'concentration camps' (it is not wrong to do so, just less specific), then about 3 to 3.5 million. (but they were not all forced)

Answer 5

it is unknowable exactly

Answer 6

I think it's like 10 million?
