Chelmno

Chelmno (also known as Kulmhof), the first, and highly secret, Nazi death camp which killed gypsies and Jews from the Łódź ghetto. It was situated 65 km. (40 mi.) north-west of Łódź, Poland, and was opened in December 1941. Figures vary, but probably about 152,000 Jews were killed there, being gassed as soon as they arrived. Only ten people are known to have escaped from it. See also Final Solution and OPERATION REINHARD.
