The Bełżec extermination camp was the first of the so-called Operation Reinhard camps to open. In some ways, it provided the model for the other Reinhard camps of Sobibor and Treblinka. In this episode, Chris Webb provides a detailed history of the camp and a detailed discussion of the important role that Bełżec played in the Final Solution.

Chris Webb is an independent researcher who has written multiple books on the Operation Reinhard camps. He is also the creator of three important web resources on the Holocaust: the Holocaust Historical Society (holocausthistoricalsociety.org.uk/index.html), ARC: The Aktion Reinhard Camps (deathcamps.org), and HEART: Holocaust Education and Research Team (holocaustresearchproject.org).
