Belzec extermination (death) camp started gassings on 17 March 1942 and ceased to function by 31 December 1942. In that time 434,508 Jews and an unknown number of Gypsies were killed there. It was the deadliest Nazi camp of all. There are only two(!) known survivors. (Note. A small 'ordinary' concentration camp existed at Belzec from 1940-41).

The place is now in eastern Poland, near Lublin and close to the border with Ukraine.
Sobibor, Treblinka, and Belzec were dismantled by the Nazis in 1943. The first camp was liberated by the Russians in 1944. All of the remaining camps would be liberated in the beginning to the middle of 1945.
By the end of 1942 Belzec, an extremely efficient extermination camp, had served its purpose and was closed down shortly afterwards. Other extermination camps closed down include Sobibor and Treblinka - though after revolts and mass breakouts in these cases. They was no prisoner revolt or breakout at Belzec.
