The lack of knowledge about Belzec stems from the lack of survivors. Very few survived Belzec.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

None of my grandmother’s brothers and sisters and all their children/relatives, survived Belzec, Auschwitz or the street executions in Lvov (Lemberg).

We will never forget or forgive!

At the end of 1942 the decision was made to close Belzec because they had killed most of the Jews in the region and felt Auschwitz could handle the rest. The camp was dismantled, replanted and made to look like farmland. The last inmates were shipped to Treblinka to be gassed.

Later, as the Russian 1943 offensive gained steam, frantic efforts were made to dig up corpses and incinerate or crush the bones to eradicate evidence of the crimes. But they could never erase the evidence of crimes on such a massive scale.
