As the allies began advancing on concentration/death camp locations, the Nazis would frantically try to destroy them with whatever explosive supplies they had on hand.
That would account for the camp itself, but what of the prisoners? They were sent on 'Death marches' or simply shot into a mass grave.
More times than not, however, the allies would arrive before the Nazis could destroy the camps. The allies would then free the prisoners and make sure they received food and health care. A handful of camps that still remain were made into museums, so that the public may never forget the evils man can perpetrate unto one another. An example of this is the infamous Auschwitz camp.
