The math is rounded out but the answer is 1712.
Assume 7.5 million died in the camps (that is a conservative number).
Assume that the Concentration Camp period last from 1933 to 1945 (12years) and calculate 7.5 million divided by 12 years is 625,000 per year. Calculate 625,000 divided by 365 (days per year) and viola, 1712.
Sure, we forgot leap year and we rely on differeing estimates and assumptions but the answer is close. It seems like that comes to a 9/11 attack every other day and no one noticed. That may have been the real problem of the Holocaust, no one noticed.

*EDIT* The answer above is merely an average. Looking at individual camps, the answer to this question is often far more than 1712 people a day. Auschwitz-Birkenau alone had the capacity to and did murder and cremate up to 20,000 people a day. Where does the figure of 7.5 come from?

___

In a sense the question isn't very meaningful. It appears to assume that mass killings in concentration camps were an ongoing routine and makes no distinction between the period 1933-late 1941 and the Holocaust. One also needs to distinguish between 'ordinary' concentration camps and extermination camps.

The numbers killed in camps accelerated rapidly, especially from late 1941 on.

Were death camps and concentration camps the same thing?

No, death camps did not hold people, they just killed them.____Ordinary concentration camps were essentially punishment and forced labour camps. Extermination camps were intended purely as 'killing facilities': the aim was to kill new arrivals as soon as practical, usually within hours. As stated above, they did not 'hold people'. The extermination camps were:Auschwitz II (Birkenau - part only. The rest was a very harsh concentration camp).BelzecChelmnoMajdanek - (part only). The function of this camp seems to have been to provide a 'back-up' extermination facility.SobiborTreblinkaIn addition, there Maly Trostinets (near Minsk) was an extermination camp.Auschwitz II and Majdanek were both concentration camps and extermination camps.The term death camp includes all the Nazi extermination camps. It is sometimes extended to the very harshest concentration camps (the Grade III camps), where the aim was to work prisoners to death. Examples include the Mauthausen group of camps and Auschwitz III. So there is some (rather confusing) overlap between the terms.Note that there were practically no survivors from Belzec and Chlemno (only two known survivors in each case). Sobibor and Treblinka had about 50-60 survivors each as the result of uprisings and mass break-outs by the Sonderkommandos at both camps. (The Sonderkommandos were the very small groups of new arrivals selected to help with the extermination process itself, for example, by digging mass graves, sorting the victims' personal belongings and so on). Maly Trostinets has no known survivors at all, which may be one reason why it is almost unknown. On the other hand, there were survivors from all the concentration camps, including the very harshest.On the whole, Holocaust scholarship avoids using the term death camp, but there are some exceptions.Please see the related questions.


What were the differences between Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps?

The sole purpose of extermination camps was to kill as quickly and efficiently as possible. The were 'industrial' killing centres.___Often the terms concentration camps and extermination camps (or death camps) are used interchangeably. The sole purpose of extermination (death) camps was to kill. They were not labour camps.For example, at Belzec (extermination camp), 434,508 Jews and an unknown number of Roma ("Gypsies") were murdered, and only two(!) are known to have survived, while over 80% of those who entered Dachau (concentration camp) emerged alive (though it doesn't follow that they all survived World War 2, as some were moved to other camps, where they perished). At Chelmno, too, there were only two known survivors.Concentration camps were used as:Punishment and deterrent camps (for example, for Communists, socialists, liberals and other opponents of the Nazi regime, also for 'habitual criminals' and for homosexuals).Forced labour camps, where Jews and others were ruthlessly exploited as slave labour and often worked to death on grossly inadequate food.Resistance fighters from occupied countries.Two camps - the Auschwitz group and Majdanek were both extermination camps (death camps) and concentration camps. At Auschwitz, in particular, some people among each trainload of new arrivals were selected (chosen) as 'fit for work'. The others - who were mainly children under 15, visibly pregnant women, or sick or elderly people were killed as soon as practical because they were a "waste of a space".Extermination campsKey part of Auschwitz II (Birkenau)BelzecChelmnoMajdanek (part only - used as a 'back up' killing centre when other camps couldn't cope with the numbers. The rest was one of the most vicious concentration camps, where guards went on frequent killing sprees, clubbing prisoners to death)SobiborTreblinka IIIn addition, Maly Trostinets (near Mink, Belarus) and Janowska (near Lviv or Lemberg, in Ukraine) are often regarded as an extermination camps.To avoid misunderstanding, it should be stressed that the death toll at all the main concentration camps was high. Most of the prisoners had to do hard manual labour on insufficient food, and killer diseases, such as typhus, were common. For example, the death toll at Stutthof (near Danzig/Gdansk) is estimated at 65,000; and an estimated 50,000 died at Bergen-Belsen, about 75% of these as the result of a typhus epidemic in 1945.Extermination (death) camps were used only for the purpose of killing, usually by gassing. In many death camps, when they functioned efficiently, the new arrivals were taken straight from the trains to huts where they had to hand over their possessions and undress. They were then taken to the gas chambers and their corpses were cremated or buried in mass graves. These camps were 'death factories'. Very few people indeed survived these camps. (Most survivors from Auschwitz are from the various labour camps in the Auschwitz complex).Some prisoners were moved from Auschwitz (in particular) and Majdanek to other camps.
