Final answer:

Less than half of the prisoners from the camps survived the evacuation marches, with particularly low survival rates in most camps, and slightly higher, but still very slim, chances at Auschwitz due to temporary slave labor use.

Step-by-step explanation:

The evacuation marches you're referencing are likely related to Nazi death camps during World War II. Given the historical records and the staggering mortality rates within the camps, particularly during forced evacuations or 'death marches,' it's clear that less than half of the prisoners survived these brutal conditions. The survival rate from the three major camps besides Auschwitz was only one one-thousandth of 1%, representing the few who survived out of approximately 1.5 million victims. Moreover, only a relatively larger number of victims from Auschwitz, which operated differently from the other death camps, survived due to being used for slave labor before many were eventually killed.
