Note that Bergen-Belsen was originally a prisoner of war (POW) camp for French and Belgian soldiers. The great majority of these were treated tolerably and survived. In 1941 the place was used a POW camp for Soviet prisoners, and an estimated 18,000 perished. In 1942 the SS took over Bergen-Belsen, initially as a detention camp, and it also housed some Jews whom the Nazis hoped to exchange for Germans or sell (!) to the Allies. Wikipedia estimates the number of prisoners killed as follows: * 18,000 Soviet POWs * 50,000 Jews and others while the place was a concentration camps. Of these, 13,994 died of disease, mainly typhus, after the camp was liberated by the British on 15 April 1945. From about late 1944 onwards large numbers of prisoners were relocated to Bergen-Belsen from camps further east. (When the camp was liberated there was a severe epidemic raging). These figures are taken from the Wikipedia article on Bergen-Belsen. No figure for survivors is given there.
