There is not much they could do, they had no sympathy at all. If this did happen and there were rags or scraps of clothing laying around, they could use that. But they probably had to try and hide it as best as they could, otherwise the women would probably have been killed.
I'm sure that after awhile living at the camps a combination of not enough nutrition and too laborous of work led women not to have their periods at all.

In Nazi concentration camps, when women got their periods, they faced immense challenges due to the dehumanizing conditions. Often, access to menstrual hygiene products was extremely limited or nonexistent. Some women resorted to using makeshift materials like strips of fabric or pieces of clothing to manage their periods. Insufficient sanitation and the lack of privacy further compounded the difficulties they faced.
