Twenty cars at a time were backed into the camp and the Jews got out, leaving their luggage in the car. The men were separated from the women and children and both groups were told to undress. Their clothing and the luggage was taken by the 1,000 Jews who worked in the camp. Then the naked Jews were herded through a path that was lined with tree branches to hide their nakedness from Polish farmers who might be looking into the camp. At the end of the path were gas chambers disguised as shower rooms. The Jews were herded into the showers and immediately gassed with either carbon monoxide or Zyklon-B gas.The clothing from the previous train, which had been sorted by the Jewish workers, was loaded onto the empty train and taken to Majdanek, the camp in the city of Lublin, where the clothing was disinfected with Zyklon-B and then sent to Germany to be given to the civilians who had lost their clothing during Allied bombing raids on their homes.The bodies of the Jews who had been gassed were removed by the Jewish workers and buried in mass graves. The graves were later opened and the Jewish workers had to carry the decomposed bodies to pyres where the bodies were burned, using wood from the trees surrounding the camp.
