Zojuist hebben we Belzec bezocht. Het 1e operationele vernietigingskamp van Aktion Reinhard: indrukwekkend, staalhard en massief. Ter contrast: daar las een deelneemster een pijnlijk liefdevol menselijke afscheidsbrief van een moeder aan haar zoon voor. Sara wordt in juli 1942 in Belzec vermoord.

I mean, y'all, this was literally carved on the wall at the Bełżec memorial museum...in 2008.

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country.

Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.
This is a concentration camp, by the way.

This is a death camp. We're setting up death camps in foreign countries and renditioning people there.

Hey, Americans. I hear you're building a large facility in Guantanamo. You're participating in a long tradition. There's Sobibor, Belzec, Bergen Belsen, Auschwitz, and soon, Guantanamo will be added to the list.

Aren't you proud? You're so *exceptional*.

Construction began at Bełżec extermination camp on this day in 1941.

The decision to construct three extermination camps was made at the Wannsee Conference of 1942, at Bełżec, Sobibór and Treblinka.

Indeed, all of the major extermination camps—Sobibor, Chelmno, Belzec, Treblinka, Auschwitz—were all in occupied Poland because even the Nazis wanted to outsource their worst crimes outside Germany proper
Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

Really cool how the NYT insists that Zohran Mamdani saying Israel should “exist as a state with equal rights” means he’s gonna turn the Battery into Bełzec any day now while a bunch of bona fide Hitlerjugend get to Name The Jew and it just means they have some questions about the Israel lobby
NYT: young people at CPAC are "J-pilled," defined as slang for "skepticism of Israeli influence"

Then a few grafs later they quote a groyper who says "at least 60 percent of the young people here" are fans of Nick Fuentes, who wants to deport all Jews from America www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/s...

And while those camps shared things in common and were part of a single huge industrial system, they really were not at all the same thing

If you were sent to Auschwitz, you might make it. Lots of people did. If someone sent you to Bełzec, well. We have no firsthand prisoner accounts of Bełzec

Bahnhof und Gedenkstätte Belzec. Vor 84 Jahren, Mitte März 1942, kamen hier die ersten Züge mit Juden aus Lemberg und Lublin an: Beginn der "Aktion Reinhardt".
Auf einem Bild Schlüssel der Ermordeten. Schlüssel, die Menschen vielleicht mitgenommen hatten in der Hoffnung, nach Hause zurück zu kehren.

Stalin was a uniquely vicious murderer and even he never got around to building so much as a pale imitation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, much less of Sobibor or Belzec or Treblinka

Ook #bontebal gaat voor het #madagaskarplan. En als Madagascar niet kan? Tsja. #babijar en dan #belzec. Het is kwart over 1939.
Het is beschamend en giftig hoe vluchtelingen tot ultieme zondebok zijn gemaakt, en hoe hardnekkig de migratieobsessie is. Bontenbal weet donders goed dat migratie nooit volledig te controleren valt, maar staat desondanks open voor het plan om willekeurige vluchtelingen in Oeganda te dumpen.
‘Een volgend kabinet moet eigenlijk vanaf dag 1 naar Duitsland en België gaan en zeggen: zullen wij eens met z’n drieën, of misschien met de 6 landen die ooit zijn begonnen met de Europese gemeenschap, ons [asielmigratie]beleid gaan harmoniseren?’ stelt

We noemen onze reis: de Verdiepingsreis. Met zo’n 30 deelnemers staan we 8 dagen lang stil bij Aktion Reinhard (AR). AR is de moord op 1,7 miljoen Joden in de vernietigingskampen: Belzec, Sobibor en Treblinka. Een derde van de Nederlandse Joden is in Sobibor vermoord.

Dieser Kommentar erreichte uns heute. Der Poster ist näher an der Wahrheit, als er denkt. Sowohl im Vernichtungslager Belzec als auch in Sobibor wurden Motorenabgase zum Morden benutzt. Die Details sind unklar, aber für Belzec geht man von einem Panzer IV Motor aus.

Het #madagaskarplan. En toen dat niet doorging? Toen kwam. #babijar en daarna #belzec.

Maandag stond in het teken van doorgangsgetto’s, bijv. Izbica. Dat waren open getto’s in Oost-Polen waar o.a. Duitse Joden naartoe werden gedeporteerd. De huizen stonden leeg, want de Poolse Joden waren ondertussen vermoord in Belzec. In deze getto’s was het ‘één trein eruit, één trein erin’…

Former councilman Leo Mankiewicz tonight: “The most infamous concentration camps are known for the towns they are located — Dachau, Treblinka, Belzec, & the Polish town forever now known by the name of Auschwitz. Is this the legacy you want to leave on Surprise? Because that will be your legacy.”

Also, Auschwitz, Dachau, and Bergen-Belsen had a slave labor component so there were survivors who could tell their stories. Almost nobody survived Bełzec because it existed purely for mass murder.

17.3.1942 Der 1. Zugtransport trifft im Vernichtungslager Belzec b. Bełżec (etwa: Beschetz) ein, in dem bis Ende 1942 (9½ Mon.) von der SS 434.508 Ermordete gezählt werden: als Teil der NS-"Aktion Reinhardt" (Ziel: Ermordung der polnischen Juden; auch in Sobibór + Treblinka)

Simply an amazing poem.

PS- I literally modeled this in 2018 using the USHMM's Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos.

Here is the visualization for Sobibor and Belzec.

(I'm not expecting him to have known about me doing this. Just pointing out that this is very much a known thing.)

Seitdem man in Deutschland das letzte Mal Menschenrechte großzügig überdacht und weniger streng handhabte, kennt man weltweit Namen wie Sobibor, Treblinka, Belzec, Majdanek...
"Wir müssten die Menschenrechte weniger streng handhaben. (...) Da sagen jetzt einige: Das ist illusorisch".

Menschenrechte weniger streng zu handhaben ist nicht illusorisch. Es ist von Grund auf falsch.

Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.

Ende.

Das denk.mal Fruchtschuppen C ist eröffnet! Es erinnert an über 1000 Sinti und Roma, die von diesem Ort in der heutigen Hafencity in Hamburg zwichen 1940 und 1944 nach Belzec und Auschwitz deportiert wurden. Das denk.mal macht ihre Geschichte im Stadtraum sichtbar.

A few months ago I wrote a (long) article on the little known Belzec death camp for @tracesofwar.bsky.social With help from a translator the English version is now also available. www.tracesofwar.com/articles/810...
Belzec was the first of three Aktion Reinhardt camps in Nazi occupied Poland.
