I can easily find numbers on how many people were killed, but its not as easy to find numbers on how many survived.
I need to know the total number of people who were in the camps and survived them.
Sources too, please. Thanks!

The 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 in the range 100,000-150,000.

About 25% of those rounded up.
