In addition to Lt Col Charlie Brown's suggestion of Ancestry.com, you might want to start with the National Archive's Concentration Camp records* and the information that is at the Holocaust Museum*.
You can also look at fold3.com (part of Ancestry.com) - the information should be the same as that in the National Archives or the Holocaust Museum, but it's an easier interface. It is a paid service (like Ancenstry.com), but you can do a 7-day free trial and access the info to see if it has what you're looking for.

Records Relating to Concentration Camps
The National Archives at College Park, Maryland holds records pertaining to several World War II Nazi concentration camps: Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenberg, Nordhausen, and Mauthausen. These records include textual, still picture, motion picture, and cartographic records. Among these are original camp records; records produced by U.S. Government agencies, both military and civilian; and captured German records, including evidence files...

Some people have had good luck with the Mormon records out in Salt Lake City, Utah. They have an amazing database.
