Chelmno is in a part of Poland that had been annexed by Germany in 1939. It is to the north of Lodz. Chelmno was an extermination camp, and the prisoners were gassed as soon as practical - ususally within 24 hours of arrival. They were not of course given a 'last meal'; they were not fed. (It was a 'killing facility' and served no other purpose). As at all extermination camps, a very small number of healthy-looking new arrivals were selected to help with aspects of the killing process itself - in particular, digging mass graves.

Why did historians have a hard time agreeing with the first death camp?
They had no problem. The first extermination camp was Chelmno, which began regular, routine mass gassings on 8 December 1941. The aim at Chelmno was to kill all new arrivals as soon as practical - usually within 24 hours. Some confusion may come up with the 'Action Reinhard camps', as Chelmno (nor Auschwitz) was not included in these. Also Auschwitz as a concentration camp was set up first, but the part of Auschwittz (Birkenau) that was a death camp was not on-line by then.
