Operation Reinhard (almost certainly named after Reinhard Heydrich) involved the (largely successful) extermination of the Polish Jews. Three completely new camps were set up for this: * Treblinka II * Belzec * Sobibor In addition, Majdanek and the Auschwitz group of camps were enlarged and Chelmno was also used. In all, about 3 million of Poland's 3.3 million Jews were murdered.
