How were prisoners processed at Belzec?

Belzec was an extermination camp. In other words, its sole purpose was to kill. On arrival a handful of the Jews were selected to help with the extermination process, and the rest were ordered to undress "in order to take a shower" and were gassed. At Belzec 434,508 Jews and an unknown number of gypsies were killed and there are only two (!) known survivors. "Selection" on a large scale only took place at Auschwitz, which was a combined labour and extermination camp.

What was Belzec?

Belzec was a Nazi extermination camp for Jews and 'gypsies'. Its location is on the eastern edge of modern Poland. Its was not a labour camp: its sole function was to kill, usually by poisoning with carbon monoxide. The Hoefle Telegramme gives a total of 434,508 Jews killed at Belzec by the end of 1942 and an unspecified number of 'gypsies'. Of all the Nazi extermination camps, Belzec seems to have been the most efficient: there were only two (2) known survivors! They were: Rudolf Reder and Chaim Hirszman. Rudolf Reder emigrated to Canada in the late 1940s, but Chaim Hirszman was murdered by Polish antisemites in 1946.

What did people do at Belzec?

On arrival at Belzec the victims were gassed as soon as practical (except for a tiny minority chosen to dig graves and move corpses). In all, 434,508 Jews and an unknown number of gypsies were killed there. There were only two (yes, two!) known survivors. (It is the only case where an exact number of Jewish victims can be given, thanks to an intercepted SS telegramme sent when gassings at Belzec had finished).
