Simply put - most Jews were worked to death. They often worked hard labor for up to 16 hours per day - having only 1 small meal - which generally had little or no nutritional value. On average, they lived for about 45 to 60 days after arriving at the concentration camp.
Of course there were exceptions - if one could cook or play an instrument well or had some exceptional ability - they were used as entertainment. Often attractive women were used as sex slaves to several Germans - but his was a VERY tightly kept secret; a German man should never have sex with a Jewish woman - it made the man "dirty" according to Hitler. This was rare because everybody (even children) had their heads shaved upon entering the concentration camps - to control lice.
As far as tortured - this may take some explaining! Being in the camps was torture iteself - but the Germans never tortured prisoners - they had no reason - they were not looking for answers to anything - all they wanted from their Jewish prisoners was for them to die. But of course there were exceptions to this - often there was sadistic guards that beat women and men to death for fun - rare but it did happen. ALso it must be taken into consideration that most knew they were there to die - and things like "showers" that were actually posionous gas - were well known. So lining up for a shower - would be considered torture.
