Bełżec Museum Memorial Site

The German Death Camp in Bełżec was operational from March 1942 and it was the first place where stationary gas chambers were used to kill Jewish people. About 450,000 people were murdered in Bełżec camp. The Museum Memorial Site was founded in 2004 as a branch of the State Museum at Majdanek, with the aim of documenting and commemorating the victims of the camp.
