How do we know how many people died in concentration camps?

The numbers are estimates based on statements made by (1) those who ran the camps and (2) other evidence, where available. The number of Jews killed was determined as about six million by the Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946. Actually, the Germans kept very good records. They wanted to document their success in 'improving' the human race to the world. During the fall of the Third Reich, many of the records were destroyed to prevent them from serving as evidence in the trials. Nazis did not keep correct records and Jews had numbers tattooed on them. Some of the names were hard to pronounce or write so often the German Officer would put down a short form. One of my girlfriend's father was a reporter (Jewish) and landed up in the concentration camp. His last name was King-Whittick and it's obvious his name would have been shortened to "King." They never did find his body and it is impossible to determine exactly how many Jews perished. It was not only the Jews, but Gypsies and any other person (even German) who went against Hitler and the Third Reich.

What happened to the living Jews during World War 2?

The Jews who survived the concentration camps had to get well, get out of starvation status and when they were healed they were assisted with leaving the country. Most went to the USA and some went to Israel or other nations. The Jews who had been hiding were given food and shelter until they relocated. Some Jews stayed around to be witnesses in the Nuremberg Trials. Eventually, they were able to start life over even if some were traumatized. It took decades from many of them to get them money and valuables out of the Swiss Banks. Some received reparations from the German government. I have known Jews who were in those camps and they lived with the tattooed numbers on their arms. They were able to achieve good lives in the USA.
