The Holocaust of Belzec

In March 1942, Jews in Lublin, Poland, were deported to Belzek 's Death Camp. By the beginning of 1942, gas chambers were running in death camps. The Belzec camp is located in the Lublin area of ​​Southeast Poland. Originally founded in 1940, it is a slave labor camp. From March to December 1942, Belzek was the center of extinction in Germany, killing 500,000 to 600,000 Jews at its center. Belzek became part of the German killing system on March 17, 1942.

The Belzek concentration camp was built under Hitler's order, which was handed to Heinrich Himmler. Meanwhile, Himmler ordered Belzec to build a camp on the occupation of Polish SS commissioner Odilo Globocnik. One of the first air chambers built by Belzec. All the temporary staff from Krakow, Radom, Galicia, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, and Belzek went there. Christian Worth, once a Brandenburg euthanasia program, built a gas chamber. His building consists of three rectangular rooms, each 13 to 26 feet, and the ceiling height is more than 6 feet. A 240 horsepower engine was installed in a cabin from a captured Russian tank and the exhaust was piped to the cabin.

The use of gas chambers is the most common way to mass kill Jews in an extermination camp. The Jews were driven to the gas chamber, after which the camp staff closed the doors (Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka) and put Zyclon B or A type gases (Majdanek and Auschwitz - Birkenau) into the air chamber. Another way is to use a pneumatic track. The truck was used in Chemno and the Jews suffocated by truck exhaust after caught on the truck. The third way is to shoot down a large number of Jews and other groups (such as Soviet POWs, Poles). Between November 3 and 4, 1943, Majdanek killed 17,000 to 18,000 Jews a day as part of a mass shootout. This event was called Erntefest ('Harvest Feast'), and a similar event was held around Lublin. As a result, more than 40,000 Jews died
