Best Answer

At most of the extermination camps (as opposed to ordinary concentration camps) there was almost no 'daily life'. At Belzec, Chlemno, Sobibor and Treblinka the newly arrived Jews and Gypsies were gassed as soon as possible after arrival. The rail transports were timed in such a way as to avoid the need for much accommodation at the camp. (Occasionally, there were bottle-necks and the victims had to spend some time at the camp, but seldom more than a few hours).

One of the more revolting features of the Holocaust was the fact that some Jews were forced to help cremate or bury the corpses. These men did live at the camp.

Note that there are only two (!) known survivors from Belzec, while at least 440,000 victims were murdered there.

They were death camps - life was all but unbearable.

At Auschwitz and Majdanek, some newly arrived prisoners were 'selected' for work and worked to death on grossly insufficient food.
