Best Answer

Belzec was an extermination camp. In other words, its sole function was to kill. It is the only camp for which the Nazis' own final count of the numbers killed has been preserved: the final death toll at Belzec was 434,508 Jews killed and an unknown number of gypsies. There are only two (yes, two) known survivors, Rudolf Reder and Chaim Hirszman. After the war Reder wrote a book (in Polish) on Belzec and emigrated to Canada. Hirszman was murdered in 1946 by Polish anti-Semites, a few hours after giving evidence in court against Nazi SS men.
