All four are the names of different kinds of Nazi camps. * Dachau and Buchenwald were 'ordinary' concentration camps. (Dachau was a Grade I concentration camp, Buchenwald was Grade II - in other words, harsher). * Ravensbrück was a concentration camp for women only. * The Birkenau section of Auschwitz was mainly an extermination camp that carried out mass gassings on a vast scale, but it also included the main hard labour camp for women in the Auschwitz complex of camps.

What did the Jews eat in the concentration camps?

Jews deported for immediate extermination were given nothing. There was no 'final meal'.Jews deported for use as slave labour were fed thin soup with some added bread and/or potato and sometimes also cabbage.In concentration camps rations varied, depending on the grade of the camp and also over time. So, at Dachau (a grade I camp) prisoners generally got more than at Buchenwald (grade II), and at Auschwitz (which was a grade III camp) they got even less.

What was the ratio of the people that survived a concentration camp during the Holocaust to those who died?

As many as two-thirds of Europe's Jews were killed during the Holocaust. Other groups, such as gypsies, the mentally disabled, and the handicapped were also killed. Many victims were killed in mass, open air shooting, especially in the then Soviet Union (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus) and were not sent to camps.-----------------The proportion varied considerably. At the extermination camps (Auschwitz-Birkenau, Chelmno, Treblinka II, Majdanek ('new section'), Belzec and Sobibor very few survived. At these camps most victims were gassed soon after arrival. A handful of Jews at these camps were forced to help in various ways with the extermination process, for example, by dragging the corpses to the crematoria or mass graves. Some of these survived. However, there are only two(!) known survivors from Belzec, where according to the SS's records, 434,508 Jews plus an unspecified number of Roma were killed.At Dachau, which was mainly a camp for political opponents of the Nazis, an estimated 25,600 died out of 150,000.-----------The word "survived" needs defining carefully, otherwise one ends up talking about quite different groups of people. The usual meaning of the expression "a holocaust survivor" is someone who was sent to an extermination (death) camp, concentration camp (or equivalent), but was still alive at the end of WWII in Europe or when the camp was liberated. (In other words, Jews and others who had managed to flee to countries like the U.S., Britain and Sweden before the start of World War 2 are not included). The most common figure is about 200,000. Jews in hiding who survived also count as survivors.Incidentally, the criterion 'left the camps alive' is trickier than one might think. Some Jews were moved from one camp to another. Anne and Margot Frank, for example, were moved on 30 October 1944 from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen. So they were alive when they left Auschwitz, but died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen in March 1945.Once one was actually in an extermination camp system the chances of survival were remote. It needs to be noted that there were different types of camps, ranging from 'punishment camps' like Dachau to extermination camps. From 1939-40 onwards the SS graded the camps into three types, I, II and III and later added the extermination camps. There was not much difference between types I and II, except that the prisoners were usually better fed at a camps graded I. At grade III camps most prisoners had to do very hard manual labour on grossly insufficient food and were worked to death. At the extermination camps, nearly all the prisoners were shot or gassed soon after arrival. For information: Dachau was a grade I camp, Buchenwald was grade II, Auschwitz I (old section) was grade III, while Treblinka, the Birkenau section of Auschwitz, Belzec, Sobibor, Chelmno and the newer part of Majdanek were extermination camps. Obviously, one's chances of survival at Dachau were much better than, for example, at Treblinka.--------------

Where were Jews imprisoned?

If you are asking about crime in general, Jews have been imprisoned in every country that has had a Jewish population; statistics show that the number of Jews in prison is small, but there are always some bad apples. Jews in prison in the USA, much like other ethnic groups, tend to have been convicted of drug crimes or of crimes related to corruption, theft, etc. Additionally, Jews have been persecuted at some time or another in almost every country where they have had any presence: historically, due to prejudice, the leaders of certain countries would blame illnesses or problems in the economy on the Jews, at which time members of the Jewish community were unjustly imprisoned. This was especially common in countries where anti-Semitism was a common aspect of the popular culture. But if you are asking about the Holocaust, Jews were imprisoned in concentration camps in Germany during the 1930s, as Naziism took hold. The best known of these prison camps were Buchenwald and Dachau. But later, whenever the Nazis came in and occupied a country, they often rounded up the Jews and deported them to prison camps in Poland; there were six such camps used for the imprisonment and then extermination of Jews.
