<Tr> <Th> Liberated by </Th> <Td> The Soviet Union before end of war </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Notable inmates </Th> <Td> Rudolf Reder, Chaim Hirszman, Mina Astman, Sara Beer, Salomea Beer, Jozef Sand </Td> </Tr> <P> Bełżec (pronounced (ˈbɛu̯ʐɛt͡s), in German: Belzec) was a Nazi German extermination camp built by the SS for the purpose of implementing the secretive Operation Reinhard, the plan to eradicate Polish Jewry, a key part of the "Final Solution" which entailed the murder of some 6 million Jews in the Holocaust . The camp operated from 000000001942 - 03 - 17 - 0000 17 March 1942 to the end of 000000001942 - 12 - 01 - 0000 December 1942 . It was situated about 0.5 km (0.31 mi) south of the local railroad station of Bełżec, in the new Distrikt Lublin of the semi-colonial General Government territory of German - occupied Poland . The burning of exhumed corpses on five open - air grids and bone crushing continued until March 1943 . </P> <P> Between 430,000 and 500,000 Jews are believed to have been murdered by the SS at Bełżec . This makes it the third deadliest extermination camp, exceeded only by Treblinka and Auschwitz . Only seven Jews performing slave labour with the camp's Sonderkommando survived World War II; and only one of them became known, thanks to his postwar testimony submitted officially . The lack of viable witnesses who could testify about the camp's operation is the primary reason why Bełżec is so little known despite the enormous number of victims . </P>
