Death Camps were established with the only purpose of mass killing. Only a few laborers were spared for a limited time and then replaced by others.
If one was sent to Chelmo, Treblinka, Belzec, or Sobibor, changes of survival (for children and adults as well) were virtually null. We know of only one case in which a child who survived at Chelmo as an errand boy.
Two major Death Camps (Madainek & Auschwitz) functioned also as Concentration Camps. Older children might pass the selection if they looked strong enough, a few younger children could be selected as errand boys. Chances of survival remained very low.
