The Holocaust was organized in such a way that there were usually relatively few prisoners in death camps (in the strict sense, that is, extermination camps). At some camps - especially, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor and Chelmno - the idea was to gas most new prisoners soon after arrival and dispose of their corpses quickly. The 'transports' were timetabled in such a way as to avoid flooding the camps was with new arrivals. In practice, things weren't always as smooth as that.
