When did the Jews get out of concentration camps?

It is a misconception that Jews were the only ones in the camps. They did make up a large percentage of the population, but several other groups were imprisoned there as well. Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, handicapped, and even those that were just not liked for political reasons were taken away. As far as when these people were released depended on what camp they were in, and when forces came in to liberate them. Not all camps that were closed were liberated. That usually meant that all the prisoners were killed or moved to another camp. Even at the camps that were liberated, there were often thousands of deaths. Here is a list: Auschwitz: liberated January 27, 1945 Belzec: Closed without liberation June 1943 Bergen-Belsen: liberated April 15, 1945 Bogdanovka: massacred and closed December 31, 1941 Buchenwald: liberated April 4, 1945 Chelmno: liberated January 20, 1945 Dachau: liberated April 29, 1945 Flossenburg: liberated April 23, 1945 Gross-Rosen: liberated February 14, 1945 Janowska: liquidated after attempted uprising November 19, 1943 Jasenovac: revolt, 80 escaped, remaining 520 killed, April 22, 1945 Kaiserwald: liberated October 13, 1944 Majdanek: liberated July 24, 1944 Maly Trastsianiets: liberated June 28, 1944 Mauthausen-Gusen: liberated May 5, 1945 Neuengamme: May 3, 1945 closed and all 10,000 prisoners killed in a battle Ravensbruck: liberated April 30, 1945 Sachsenhausen: liberated April 22, 1945 Sajmiste: Closed September 1944 Sobibor: successful revolt October 14, 1943 Stutthof: liberated May 9, 1945 Theresienstadt: liberated May 1, 1945 Treblinka: successful revolt August 2, 1943 Uckermark: liberated April 30, 1045
