Chelmno was an extermination camp and not a forced labour camp. In other words. most prisoners were gassed as soon as practical after their arrival.
In Chełmno (or Kulmhof, in german) there were two groups called "Sonderkommando" (Special Command) and "Waldkommando" (Forest Command), both in a total of about 60 Jews.
They were responsible for taking the corpses out of the gas vans to Rzuchowski Forest and digging huge graves to burry and burn them. They were also responsible for taking gold teeth and any other valuable items off of the dead jews.
The SS officers often killed members of Sonderkommando and Waldkommando to replace them for other men who arrived later at Chełmno.
