Consider the estimates provided by Buszko at the end of his article on Auschwitz, which appeared in the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust: 1  Of the 405,000 registered prisoners, 65,000 survived. 2  Of the 16,000 Soviet POW's, 96 survived. 3  Various estimates suggest 1.6 million were murdered.

These rankings are determined by the approximate average number of murders per day of camp operation.
