The victims were transported to the camps by rail, usually in enclosed cattle wagons. There were no breaks for food or water or any other essentials. Often the journey (for example, from Western Europe or Greece) took 3-5 days on those slow goods trains, and a fair number died during the journey.

Moreover, the trains didn't necessarily run straight from, say the Netherlands to Auschwitz. They often made a detour in order to drop some victims off at a couple of other extermination camps.
