By and large I don't think that they did. I think that they were discouraged from finding out. They knew that some people, Jews in the main, were very much disliked by the Nazi party(to put it at its mildest) and that to show an interest in their welfare was very much not in their own interests. That people were herded onto railway trains & went east was probably known, but that these people did not return was not seen as part of their concern. It was just better not to know. The Nazis ensured this to hide their own culpability, but people were made aware that finding out would result in a place on the train for them, not a journey which would benefit anyone.

What were labor camps like in the 1940s?
Yes.Concentration camps were labor camps. The exceptions were the extermination camps (Auschwitz II - extermination section only), Belzec - not to be confused with Bergen-Belsen, Chelmno, Sobibor, Majdanek (part only), Treblinka II, Maly Trostinets (near Minsk, Belarus): these aimed to kill newly arrived Jews within 12-48 hours of arrival.In addition, there were also labor camps mainly for foreign workers kdinapped from areas like Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. Conditions were harsh (sometimes very harsh) but these were not concentration camps. In 1939-41, when the Nazi regime was still trying to decide what to do with the Jews, some were sent to such camps, but most were later sent on to extermination camps.So, a reasonably full answer is quite complicated.

The number of daily kill count in the concentration camps varied. Toward the end of the war it was tens of thousands a month.

I did not find any record of a daily count but they would know if there is a record.

No. They did not necessarily know in detail what was going on in the camps and, in any case, what could they have done? They were unarmed civilians.

It has become oh-so-fashioable to blame 'bystanders', without asking whether they were in any position to do anything effective.

Because if the secret of the concentration/extermination camps came out to the public, he didn't want the public to know he commissioned them - Most of the documents he signed regarding the activities of the camps were kept secret from everyone but his top officers.

But he tried his damnedest not to be connected with the those camps.

Camps in Canada during World War 2?
As much as I know there were no Concetraition Camps in Canada, that is a stupid quetion if I have ever heard one.AnswerThere were 26 Internment Camps established in Canada which held Japanese Italian and German Canadians. More than 30,000 were affected by these camps including 100 Canadian Communists. Forty Prisoner of War Camps were set up for 33,798 German and Italian POW's and 6,437 Civil Internees (mostly Merchant Marine).Please note Internment Camps and Concentration Camps are NOT the same thing. Canada not have concentration camps.Side note: the fact that you spelled question wrong leads me to doubt you. :D lol, jk, probably a mistake.
