Museum of the Former Death Camp of Sobibór

The Nazi extermination camp in Sobibór started its operations in April 1942. About 170,000 Jews were killed there during WWII. The Museum of the Former Death Camp in Sobibór became a branch of the State Museum at Majdanek in May 2012. The exhibition depicts the origins of the camp and significant issues concerning its existence, including deportations, mechanisms of extermination, and plunder of property.
