Just before the Allies arrived to liberate the camps, the Nazis would force prisoners on a so-called "Death March". During these marches, prisoners would be forced to walk until they succumbed to the elements, starved to death, or were randomly shot by a guard.
Some of the camps ran right up until the day they were liberated by the Allies.
