Anne Frank was captured in Amsterdam on August 4, 1944, and was taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Later, she was transferred to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she died in March 1945. Overall, she spent around seven months in concentration camps before her tragic death.
It really depends on which concentration camp you are talkin about. Anne Frank was at a couple different camps and was moved all around. She was at Bergen-Belson for 6 months. She was at another camp for a little over 6-7 months.

In the boy in the stripped pajamas, Bruno cannot pronounce the word Auschwitz (the largest German concentration camp) so calls it Out-With ____ It looks as if the author has confused pronunciation with spelling. For native speakers of English Auschwitz may be a shade hard to spell, but it isn't hard to pronounce. The book was written in 4 days and is poorly researched and not very well thought out. ________ ******* The author purposely uses Out-With. During an interview he said, "...I decided not to use the word 'Auschwitz' once within the book itself. By removing the word, even though we are clearly there, and all the signs are there, by not specifically basing it there, it broadened it."
No. In the story The silver sword, there is a prison camp called Zakyna portraying where the father was sent to. He spent a year at the concentration camp before escaping. Lee-Andra ♥'z shane!
