Bełżec extermination camp SS staff, 1942. from right to left: Heinrich Barbl, Artur Dachsel, Lorenz Hackenholt, Ernst Zierke, Karl Gringers, (unknown), Reinhold Feiks, Karl Alfred Schluch, and Friedrich Tauscher (front left). Belzec was an extermination centre built to murder the Jews of Lublin and Lwow. About 450,000 people were killed there before it was closed and eradicated in 1943. Very few photos of it exist as its operation was secret and it closed before the allies came so there are no post liberation images such as we see from Dachau and Auschwitz. Only 7 people survived Belzec.
