hundreds if not thousands, transit camps by their nature are temporary, they can last for as briefly as one day
___
In the Holocaust there were a number of permanent transit camps. Examples include Westerbork (Netherlands), Drancy (France), Breendonk (Belgium). These functioned as collection centres. When victims were arrested they were often first sent to a transit camp, where they were held until there were enough people for a transport (or shipment) to Auschwitz or some other extermination camp.
Transit camps were places to hold people until they could be shipped off to other camps such as execution or forced-labor camps.
