Prior to the Soviets, the Czar commanded that all Jews live within the Pale of Settlement, which was in western Russia. In the Soviet era, Stalin sent some Jews (and others) to Siberia. There was also a Jewish settlement which the Soviets created in Birobidzhan (at about 49 degrees N latitude in southeastern Siberia), in which they forced several tens of thousands of Jews to live.

How many Jews were at the death camps?

About 1.8-2 million Jews were killed in open air shootings (mainly in the former Soviet Union) and by being forced to live in intolerable conditions in ghettos. About 4 million were killed in extermination and concentration camps, by forced labour and gassing. The number of survivors (in the sense of people actually taken to camps who emerged alive when they were liberated) was very small. So, the answer to your question is: about 4 million (but obviously not all at the same time).
