They traveled for ten days and nights, so I'm thinking over one-hundred miles.

There were more than 40 Sub camps in the Auschwitz Area.The largest of them was called Buna (Monowitz, with ten thousand prisoners) and was opened by the camp administration in 1942 on the grounds of the Buna-Werke synthetic rubber and fuel plant six kilometers (Thats 3.75 miles for those of us with a Non Metric bent)from the Auschwitz camp. The factory was built during the war by the German IG Farbenindustrie cartel, and the SS supplied prisoner labor. On November 1943, the Buna sub-camp became the seat of the commandant of the third part of the camp, Auschwitz III, to which some other Auschwitz sub-camps were subordinated.

Distance to Buchenwald is 353 miles as the crow flies
