Belzec was a Nazi death camp on the Lublin–
Lwów railway line 160 km. (100 mi.) south-east of Warsaw. Part of
OPERATION REINHARD, construction on it began in November 1941 and it opened in March 1942. It had the capacity to kill 1,500 daily. Before it was razed to the ground in the autumn of 1943 an estimated 600,000 died there. It was the most difficult of all the camps to escape from and only two people are known to have succeeded, though
Jan Karski, disguised as a camp guard, managed to get in and out again, and report what he had seen to incredulous politicians and notables in the west. See also
concentration camps and
Final Solution.
