Belzec was a Nazi extermination camp for Jews and 'gypsies'. Its location is on the eastern edge of modern Poland. Its was not a labour camp: its sole function was to kill, usually by poisoning with carbon monoxide.
The Hoefle Telegramme gives a total of 434,508 Jews killed at Belzec by the end of 1942 and an unspecified number of 'gypsies'.
Of all the Nazi extermination camps, Belzec seems to have been the most efficient: there were only two (2) known survivors! They were: Rudolf Reder and Chaim Hirszman. Rudolf Reder emigrated to Canada in the late 1940s, but Chaim Hirszman was murdered by Polish antisemites in 1946.
