I know I'm way over simplifying but starvation was one of many cruelties inflicted on victims during the holocaust. I don't understand why Nazis would want to count people they intended to murder, but I think it's important to try to understand as much as we can so we don't let it happen again. Which is why I asked.

They didn't just truck people into the camps and immediately kill them, so they had to at least track capacity.
