At most of the extermination camps (as opposed to ordinary concentration camps) there was almost no 'daily life'. At Belzec 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, seldom more than 24 hours, at the camp).
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.

When was Sobibor Extermination Camp liberated?
Sobibor (near Lublin, Poland) was established in early 1942 as an extermination camp, that is, a camp intended almost solely for the purpose of gassing victims. It became operational in May 1942, and between then and October 1943 about 250,000 people were gassed there, most of them Jews. On 14 October 1943 there was a successful revolt at the camp. It was led by Leon Feldhendler and Alexander Pechersky (a Soviet POW). Eleven SS guards were killed and about 300 prisoners managed to break out. Fifty or so of these survived the war. Leon Feldhendler was murdered in 1945 by Polish antisemites. Sobibor was an extermination camp, not a labour camp, so there was no "daily life" there. New arrivals were gassed within hours of reaching the camp. It was a death factory ... Like all the Nazi death factories it was quite small. A trainload of victims would arrive, be stripped, gassed, and the bodies were cremated. Then the next trainload arrived, and so on. A very small number of men were chosen to help with burning the corpses. On 14 October 1943, led by Alexander Pechersky and Leon Feldhendler, they rebelled and about three hundred managed a mass break out. About half of these were recaptured soon afterwards, but about 70 or so were still alive at the end of the war. (Leon Feldhendler was murdered in April 1945 by Polish antisemites, but Alexander Pechersky lived till 1990).
How was life as a Nazi soldier?
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.
