Introduction Bełżec concentration camp was one of the deadliest Nazi extermination camps established during the Holocaust. Located in occupied Poland, Bełżec was part of Operation Reinhard—the Nazi plan to murder Polish Jews systematically. Though lesser-known compared to Auschwitz and Treblinka, Bełżec played a significant role in the genocide, resulting in the deaths of approximately 500,000

The Końskowola Ghetto, a small yet harrowing piece of the Holocaust’s vast history, stands as a stark reminder of the Nazi regime’s genocidal campaign against the Jewish people.

Last Sunday I had the privilege to be invited to another presentation organised by The Ghetto Fighters’ House. The presentation was on Belzec concentration camp. A truly fascinating presentation, below is the information on the recorded session and the YouTube recording. “The Belzec Death Camp was the first of the three Operation Reinhard camps. As
