No. The treatment meted out to Jewish inmates was often worse than that of most other categories of prisoners. For example, at Oranienburg (an early temporary concentration camp) the Jewish prisoners were forced to clean the lavatories with their bare hands.

Homosexuals were often beaten up by other prisoners and some were killed by fellow inmates.

At some camps 'professionl criminals' banded together to gain all the positions of trust, with the result that some of the Kapos were dangerous psychopaths.

There was some variation from camp to camp.

what happens in concentration camps during the Holocaust?

There were extermination camps in Germany and Poland as well as many other European countries. There were concentration camps all over Europe in many more countries. In either forced labor camps or death camps, most inmates were worked until they died. Filthy conditions, no medicines, and lack of food led to many deaths by starvation and disease. The people sent to these camps were treated in a totally callous, malicious, and inhumane manner. The death camps were part of Hitler's "Final Solution" (genocide of the Jews), although gypsies and ethnic Polish populations were subject to the same type of methodical extermination.

Not necessarily ... In all ordinary concentration camps the prisoners had to work. However, there were also work camps for foreigners moved to Germany and forced to work there.

They lived in camps, where conditions were generally pretty grim.
