Bełżec

Located in the Lublin district of South-East Poland, Bełżec was initially a slave labour camp. The construction of Bełżec extermination camp began in November 1941, with the addition of three gas chambers. During the short existence of the camp, the camp commandant, a maximum of 30 German SS guards and between 90 and 120 Ukrainian guards were responsible for the murder of 600,000 people.
