Accoding to the Wikipedia article on Buchenwald 56,545 prisoners perished at Buchenwald out of a total of 238,380 who entered the camp alive. This does not, however, mean that the others all survived, as many prisoners were transferred to other camps and perished there. (It was a harsh concentration camp, but not an extermination camp).
