Here is a map of all concentration camps that were built during the war.  These camps were often confused by the people who were sent there as labor camps, but realized soon that they were death or concentration camps.

Elie spent most of his time in Auschwitiz,  when he arrived he was 15. Therefore he understood and was able to comprehend what was happening around him.  Wiesel understood that when he was separated from his mother, two sisters and grandmother that he would never see them again.

If the churches weren´t shut down they would be vandalized. Jews would be torched, killed or beaten if they had even gone to the church in secret.  If the Jews were moved they were moved into houses of their friends down the street, they had no food or water when it came to jumping houses. In the morning they would line up and walk to the next block until they made it to the train cars.  If you had tried to stay behind in the houses the SS guards would search every house,  if you were found, you were dead.

Jews were starved to death.  Elie shared a story about how they had several children in the bunks that were his age.  Sometimes they would run out of food in the bunks, only half or a fourth of the men would eat.  Wiesel would share with other boys in the bunks, they would also take turns if someone was sick, if they were found ill they would be sent to the chambers.  In the camps you were never fed anything with protein, every meal consisted of soup and maybe bread.
