Six million Jews and five million "undesirables" were killed in concentration camps or elsewhere. The undesirables were people Hitler deemed not welcome in the pure Aryan Europe he dreamed of ruling. They were mentally ill, feeble minded, dwarves, human with anomalies and deformities, communists, Hitler's enemies, and anyone else he chose to throw in the concentration camps and extermination camps.
Around twelve million. Six million were Jews, the rest eastern Europeans, Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals, political prisoners, common criminals, mentally defective people, anybody the Nazis wanted rid of. Millions more were executed on the spot, without bothering to send them to a camp to be worked to death or immediately gassed. More millions of Russian POWs died in POW camps.
The total number of Holocaust victims is higher than the total number of concentration camp (and extermination camp) victims. Many were killed in mass open air shootings or died in ghettos. In other words, killed in Nazi concentration camps does not equal a count of Holocaust victims.

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:
In 1933, there were approximately 9 million Jews in Europe. By 1945, the Nazis had reduced that number to about 3 million. Roma (Gypsies) were also sent to the concentration camps, resulting in about 200,000 Gypsy deaths. Physically and / or mentally handicapped, homosexuals, and Polish intellectuals accounted for at least another 200,000. This totals about 6,400,000 victims of the concentration camps.
The Nazis also killed between 2 and 3 million Soviet prisoners in labor camps or executions. Add to this the non Jewish Poles and Soviets sent to forced labor who died due to malnutrition, unsafe work conditions, disease and "experimentation."
The exact numbers may never be known, but hopefully this gives you some idea of the magnitude of the Nazi inhumanity.
NoteMany victims of the Holocaust were not killed in camps.______________________________________
Answer
For many years, since the Holocaust, their has been numbers flying everywhere that states how many people died in the Concentration Camps during the Holocaust. In most concentration camps their isn't an exact death number.
In many concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Treblinka, there's an range of number of people who died in the concentration camps. In Auschwitz there's an incredible range of 1.25 Million - 5.5 Million people who died at Auschwitz, according to most documents and facts, at least 2.25 Million died in Auschwitz. In Treblinka extermination camp, THERE'S an range of 875.000 - 1.6 Million.
The reason why the exact number of people who died in the Concentration Camps is because, after World War 2, Poland was took over by the USSR due to Germany occupied Poland in 1939 and many concentration camps such as Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Krakow and Warsaw were investigated by the USSR. during the time, the USSR didn't aloud other Allied countries in due to the Soviets thought that the US would of mess up the results and findings. During the Soviet investigations and adding up what the other allies had found, At least 14 Million people, including 5.96 million Jews died in the Concentration Camps. However, since then, their has been some investigations and it's sort of agreed that at least 16.5 Million, likely over 17 Million people died in the concentration camps. 7 million were the Jews and following that 3.3 million Soviet POWs died.
AnswerThe word "survived" needs defining carefully, otherwise one ends up talking about quite different groups of people. The usual meaning of the expression "a holocaust survivor" is someone who was sent to a death camp (or equivalent), but was still alive at the end of WWII in Europe or when the camp was liberated. (In other words, Jews and others who had managed to flee to countries like the U.S., Britain and Sweden are NOT included). The most common figure is around 200,000.
AnswerThis question cannot be answered usefully, as no precise definitions are possible. There were "concentration camps" whose function was to kill people as quickly as possible (such as Treblinka), and others which were primarily prisons for political prisoners (such as Dachau), or slave labor depots. Some camps served multiple functions (such as Auschwitz). In all these camps, many people were killed, but some were much more lethal than others. Not all people held in concentration camps were treated the same. Jews were, in general, exterminated, but other groups such as Roma (gypsies) and Poles, while also killed in large numbers, were not systematically killed. Some of the political prisoners seized by the Nazis in the early years of their rule were later released, having been tortured and starved into submission.
It should also be noted that the Nazis (and some of their allies) performed much of the mass murder included in the Holocaust "in the field": the victims were slaughtered in or near their villages or neighborhoods. "Holocaust survivors" should include people who were at risk of these massacres but managed to get away, even though they were never in a "Holocaust concentration camp".

AnswerWe know most of those that died were Jews, but we don't know EXACTLY how many people died. The bodies were buried in unmarked graves, or burned. At least 7 Million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. CommentSix million is the generally accepted approximate total for the number of Jews who were killed in the Holocaust - including deaths from starvation, disease and of course, mass open-air shootings. Fewer than four million Jews died in extermination camps.Obviously, one has to add the figures for non-Jews in order to give a full answer to the question.
Additional InfoPeople tend to forget that while we remember the Holocaust, Jews were only the bare majority of people who died due to mass extermination by the German authorities.In addition, there were two "sets" of camps - the concentration camps, which were essentially large open-air prisons, and the death camps, which were part of the organized Final Solution. The death camps were exactly that - specifically designed and run to take in a steady stream of victims, kill them, and dispose of the bodies. The only people spared at these camps were victims willing to labor in the camp itself; most of them only postponed death for a short time, as the Nazi owners frequently would take new members for the labor force, and kill the old ones.
Current estimates are that somewhere around 11 million people died in various concentration camps, POW camps, and death camps. About 3 million died in the Death Camps (the majority at Auschwitz) - 90% of them Jews, most of the remainder being Roma (Gypsies). Approximately 3 million more Jews were killed in various mass murder campaigns prior to the Death Camps being set up. Likewise, about 1 million total Roma died. A similar number of people (1 million) - mostly ethnic Germans, though many from conquered countries - were killed as a part of the Euthanasia program. These were primarily the mentally ill, though homosexuals were also targeted.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 500,000 political prisoners and Western Allied POWs (British, American, etc.) died in the various concentration camps, mostly from abuse (not systematic extermination). In a similar manner, about 3.2 million Russian POWs were killed in German POW camps, mostly due to abject abuse and neglect (i.e. failure to feed, clothe, or house them for months on end in harsh weather).
Finally, perhaps 2-2.5 million Poles, Slavs, and other "lesser" races were starved or beaten to death in the various concentration camps, or during marches to them, or in forced labor.

The claim above that "In Auschwitz there's an incredible range of 1.25 Million - 5.5 Million people who died at Auschwitz" is false and is only now used by Holocaust deniers in order to mock the Holocaust. In the 1980s the Auschwitz Museum undertook careful new research, based on documentary evidence. Well aware of the fact that the Soviet Union had exaggerated the figures in 1945-46, the Museum was cautious. It came up with a figure of about 1.15 milllion killed (in the Auschwitz group of camps) of whom about 90% were Jews. This research is widely accepted by Holocaust scholars and earlier figures are out of date and superseded. The range given above for Treblinka is far too high - the sort of figures one finds on sites trying to make fun of the Holocaust. The usual figure for Treblinka is 800,000 or slightly higher.
maybe a few hundred, assuming that he did sign the orders for the Night of the Long Knives. He did not take much personal involvement, arrest warrants were signed further down the pecking order.
The camps killed some 5 million, the bulk were gassed to death, but also many were worked to death.
A rough figure is around three million.
Well I could say your close, but in all concentration camps combined they killed about 7 million
approx 11 million people were killed by the nazi's. Around 6 million were Jews, 1.1 million were children
6 million people were killed by the Nazis
OVER IOOO MILLION

Hitler used concentration camps to kill Jew's. who he blamed for the loss of ww1.
Hitler put people in concentration camps and beat them to death yet some people say there was no holocaust
because hitler thought that the people or jews were not of an perfect race so he would send them to concentration camps to maliciosly kill them
Hitler started to kill Gypsies in 1940 after occupation of Poland and concentration camps were set up.
Hell Yes, Hitler killed anyone who wasn't a pure German. aka Aryan. Hitler wouldn't kill them himself, He would send them to the Concentration Camps.

Everywhere, during his rule, mainly concentration camps
During World War 2, Adolf Hitler assassinated the Jewish people in many ways. Jewish people suffered in concentration camps, work camps, and used in medical experimentation.
Hitler started to kill Gypsies in 1940 after occupation of Poland and concentration camps were set up.
In concentration camps. He had people killed by the thousands every day in concentration camps throughout Europe. You should read a book called "Night" by Eliezer Wiesel. **************************************************************************** You're stretching it a bit by saying, "He (Hitler) had people killed by the thousands everyday in concentration camps through out Europe." Of course people died in all the camps but there were only three camps in which people including the Jews were "killed" and all three were in Poland.
yes he did and he burned them in gas showers
Hitler's whole idea was to kill all people who were not of the Arayan race (Blonde Hair and Blue eyes), Jews mostly, and at these concentration camps is where they would brutally kill them by hanging, burning, gassing, shooting, drowning, starving, etc.
Hell Yes, Hitler killed anyone who wasn't a pure German. aka Aryan. Hitler wouldn't kill them himself, He would send them to the Concentration Camps.
he would send them to concentration camps or kill them if they opposed?
There are records of dwarfs being sent to concentration camps during WWII.
