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.

How did the Jews die in Belzec?
Belzec only operated for less than a year and more than 500,000 died there. --- As a result of the Hoefle (wirelees) telgramme (intercepted by the Allies) the exact number of Jews reported killed at Belzec is known. The SS's own figure is 434,508 Jews. In addition, an unknown number of Roma (gypsies) were also killed. The telegramme was sent after the camp had ceased to operate, so the figure can be regarded as defintive. (Although the telegramme was accurately decrypted, no one was able to work out at the time what it was about).
