Operation Reinhard (Einsatz Reinhard)
<p>A column of prisoners arrives at the Belzec killing center. Belzec, Poland, ca. 1942.</p> <p>In early 1940 the Germans set up a forced-labor camp for Jewish prisoners in Belzec. The inmates were forced to build fortifications and dig anti-tank ditches along the demarcation line between Germany and Soviet-occupied Poland. The camp was closed down at the end of 1940. The following year, in November 1941, construction began on the Belzec <a href="/narrative/2746/en">killing center</a>.</p>
