Description
Belzec: The Prototype Death Camp and Precursor to Genocide Belzec was a secret death camp commissioned by the Nazi State, operating outside the law of both civil and military conventions. Under the code "Aktion Reinhardt", it was staffed and administered by middle-ranking police officers and a specially selected civilian cadre, who had previously been involved in the euthanasia program. This book takes the reader step by step into the background of the "Final Solution", using eyewitness testimony to locate and record the mass graves. Over nine months, Galician Jewry was decimated, with 500,000 Jews buried in 33 mass graves. The author provides a detailed account of the camp's operations, including the conveyor belt system that led to the deaths of thousands of Jews in just two hours. This publication is part of the "Yizkor Books in Print Project" of JewishGen, Inc, featuring 376 pages with illustrations. Hardcover, 376 pages, with illustrations.
