The revolt at Sobibor death camp was led by Alexander Pechersky, a Jewish prisoner. Pechersky and a group of inmates devised a plan to overpower the SS guards and escape the camp. On October 14, 1943, they carried out their plan, resulting in a successful uprising and the escape of around 300 prisoners.
The Sobibor uprising was October 17, 1943. Within days, the camp was closed on orders by Heinrich Himmler.
Yes, Sobibor was a Nazi extermination camp located in occupied Poland during World War II. It operated from 1942 to 1943 as part of Operation Reinhard, which aimed to systematically murder the Jewish population of Europe. An estimated 250,000 Jews were killed there before a prisoner revolt led to the camp's closure. Sobibor is now memorialized as a site of horror and resistance against the Holocaust.

Nearly all the 250,000 victims at Sobibor was Jews. It was an Operation Reinhard extermination camp intended specifically to kill Jews. It is possible that some gypsies were also killed there.
The majority of Jews who were taken to Sobibor were Polish. There were a decent number of Ukrainian gaurds. Later in the camps history a group of Jewish Soviet POW's were sent to Sobibor (one of which was Sasha Pechersky who led the escape from Sobibor in 1943). The remaining small percent were German and Dutch.
Sobibor was a Nazi German extermination camp located on the outskirts of the village of Sobibó.
A forced labour camp was established there in 1940, and the notorious extermination camp began routine gasssings in May 1942. The death camp was dissolved after the revolt and breakout of 14 October 1943.
