Life expectancies depended on the health of the person when they arrived. I know that seems obvious but it is more insidious than that. The second consideration was which camp you were sent to. Dachau was a concentration camp intended for political prisoner's Rabbi's and some others were killed by the guards at arrival mostly for fun and to instill fear but the vast majority were not overtly killed. They were worked to death. There life was of no value but killing them was unnecessary when they could be used as slaves. Punishment for even simple violations could result in death or be so harsh that death would result soon after. Illness and poor conditions would eventually kill even the healthy with in a year or two. According to the Germans the gas chamber at Dachau was never used. The death camps are a different story. As I said up from if you appeared ill or were to old or young to work you were separated as soon as you got off the train and sent directly to the shower/gas chamber. Many did not survive the long brutal train ride that may have lasted for several days. Any one strong enough to work was subsequently worked and starved to death. Living longer that a few months in a "death camp" was exceptional. Patrick Kelly
