Belzec's Execution Camp During The Holocaust
Belzec Execution Camp
“I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I can't feel it. I believe in god even when he is silent.” was written on a wall during the Holocaust (pinterest). Belzec, a concentration camp located in Poland, was the second camp built and it was one of the biggest camps out off all of them. The Belzec camp was the second camp made and it was a death camp and many people died there each day. The most important things are is how the people were killed, how it impacted the people outside the camp and why was there a camouflage out siding the camp. There were only about 10 people that made it out alive. Its very sad to hear about all the people that died in the execution camps way to many …show more content…
They just lined all the men up and started shooting them and then they fell into a grave with many other people it was not just one person to a grave maybe hundreds or more people shared one single grave. The women they put into a chamber hall and they told them they were going to get to take a shower but, they actually gassed them to death until they died. They did the same things to the children as they did the women.They had to carry the women and the children out to the graves because they had no other way. Just like they way the men were buried they put hundreds of bodies in each grave so they didn’t, have to dig as many graves at each camp because, they would have had millions of graves if they did one for each person.There were very many people killed in the camp each day. There are so many people they tried to say something and they just got killed. “They estimated about 500-600,000 but, the people killed were mainly Jews” …show more content…
A transport numbering 40-60 railcars, holding about 2-2,500 Jews, would arrive at Belzec station. It would be divided into two or three smaller convoys which would be pushed into the camp. The Jews would then be rapidly disembarked onto the platform where they were assured that they had arrived at a transition camp. They were told that before being assigned to labor duties elsewhere they would be disinfected and showered. Men were separated from women and children and marched off to large huts where they undressed. Women had their hair shaven off. They were then brutally pushed to the tube and into the gas chambers which were disguised as showers. The brutalized and disoriented Jews, often weak from hours or days spent in cattle trucks, had barely any time to evaluate their fate or react
