Linked citation goes here Belzec It is located in Lublin district of South East Poland. It only lasted a year until it was liberated. It was and extermination camp that’s why it only lasted a year because it was liberated. This camp mainly targeted Jews. Some methods the Nazis used were making them work every day and all day with very little food. They also made them where little to no clothes and shaved their heads. The conditions in the camp was awful. They all had to sleep in these bunk beds next to ten or 20 people and they didn’t get very much food and some of them were killed right away when they got there. At Belzec they didn’t have a daily routine because they were killed right when they got there. 600,000 Jews were imprisoned and 600,000 Jews died. They would use killing chambers and gas chambers and sometimes they would burn them alive. Linked citation goes here Return to Exhibit

Linked citation goes here Janowska Janowska is a concentration camp that was made of forced labor and an annihilation camp. Janowska is located in Ukraine, Europe. This camp lasted from September 1941- November 1943. The closure of this camp was liquidation. It no longer stands because it wasn’t maintained. In September 1941, the Germans set up a factory on Janowska Street in the northeastern suburbs of Lvov, in southeastern Poland. This factory became part of a network of factories, the German Armament Works, owned and operated. Jews were used as forced laborers, mainly in carpentry and metalwork. In October 1941, the Germans established a camp housing the forced laborers next to the factory. Linked citation goes here Return to Exhibit

Linked citation goes here Work at Janowska In addition to being a forced-labor camp for Jews, Janowska was a transit camp during the mass deportations of Polish Jews to the killing centers in 1942. Jews underwent a selection process in Janowska similar to that used at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Majdanek. Those classified as fit to work remained at Janowska for forced labor. The majority, rejected as unfit for work, were deported to Belzec and killed or were shot at the Piaski ravine, just north of the camp. In the summer and fall of 1942, thousands of Jews (mainly from the Lvov ghetto) were deported to Janowska and killed. Linked citation goes here Return to Exhibit

Linked citation goes here The end of Janowska The evacuation of the Janowska camp began in November 1943. As the Germans attempted to destroy the traces of mass murder (Aktion 1005), they forced the prisoners to open the mass graves and burn the bodies. On November 19, 1943, these prisoners staged an uprising and a mass escape attempt. A few succeeded in escaping, but most were recaptured and killed. The SS staff murdered at least 6,000 surviving Jews from various forced-labor camps in Galicia when the Janowska camp was liquidated in November 1943. Linked citation goes here Return to Exhibit
