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."

It all depended on what type of concentration camp they were assigned to. Some were work camps, so both the women and children would have been forced to work very long hours, with harsh treatment.
