Number of deportees and deaths at Auschwitz 1941-1945 by background
Of the 1.3 million people deported to the Auschwitz concentration camps during the Second World War, approximately 1.1 million were murdered. The vast majority of the deportees were Jews, who made up around 90 percent of all deaths in the camp. While a much lower number of Roma/Sinti or Soviet POWs were deported to the camp, their death rates were also exceptionally high.
