Belzecs was the least developed memorial for many years. The grass covered slope was used by village kids to cycle because of the lumpy ground. Still others tried their hand at digging for any😢 valuables dropped by prisoners. The camp with its railway line gassed 500,000, Today besides a Museum and imitation pyre the ground has been landscaped and covered in 'slag' this is the name for the rubbish from the top of a steel furnace. In other words you cannot walk upon it. A division leads to a lower level where you could contemplate the deaths There is a concrete stepped path around the perimeter. The unusual aspect was it was located bang next to the village. Treblinka and Sobibor were not.
Thank you, Mr. Sawa. Your walk is real, and you present the terror well by letting the memorial speak for the millions of murdered. I have never seen the Belzec memorial you show so well here, but I was born and raised in Germany shortly after the war, and I've seen other such places in my youth. A cloak of silence lends itself well to the millions of murdered. Edited to add: My home town is at 4:09; we sent our Jews there, too. It will never wash off.
@WeimarAmerica thank you Sir. This video is raw, without any editing, just doing a shot, pause and moving towards next point. I was "lucky" to get sounds from neighborhood. I was lucky to spot ladybird. This place torn my soul into pieces. The finest nation of the time, commited crime, so horrible, that even devil wouldn't go so low. I believe all modern "wisemen" should see, witness monuments of greatest human fall. As a child I have seen Maydanek. It shaped my whole life. Experienced of these kind are the only trauma humans should learn. It's like a vaccine against evil. I wish you all the best Sir. Let's hope humanity is smarter now
Maybe you will like this video as well: th-cam.com/video/xRZPT9wifXM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CrzE5PoCR7KeneY1 This is not public because of music. This is land where Polish Jews used to live. In Poturzyn Chopin, he had a friend whom he used to visit several times. Something like 10 y ago my father reached Jewish memory Institute to connect them with our old neighbor who at the end of his life, got courage to share his testimony about crimes commited on his Polish Jewish neighbors during German occupation. I saw American Jewish publists picturing Polish "native" Slavic Christians as antisemitic German collaborators. What I managed to learn, it was nothing like that. Hitler and Stalin opened gates to deepest hell. As a child, 8 or 9 y old, parents took me to Krakow. I had opportunity there to touch the heart of the historic giant bell Zygmunt. Parents told me I could make a wish while touching it. I asked for peace for humanity. It's good memory I have about myself. Although my wish hasn't fulfilled yet, as long I am alive "Zygmunt" has time.
The imitation pyre was how they burnt bodies. Short lengths of rail line over a pit allowed air circulation. The pyre would be built wood layer body layer up and up to about 10 feet high and set fire. As time went on human fat would drip down and be collected to be thrown on to the pyre again. I believe only 1 or 2 prisoners survived .
Lord have eternal mercy for the millions of victims of the Nazis. And eternal gratitude to the many millions more who fought so courageously to put an end to the horror.
Yes, Germany should remember. But I also must add here that I believe very, very few living Germans have anything to do with this nightmare. I was lucky to live and work in many countries with people from most continents. I worked also with Germans and all I feel towards them is respect and sympathy. I might have been lucky with Germans, I don't know. But I am saying the truth. I know I love my country but no other nation made as much pain to me as my own people and family. The thing which should be done about German death camps is to remember. Remember that humans did it to humans. Thank you for watching my video. All the best to you.
By the way Belzecs is a very short distance from the UKRAINE BORDER and of course the Germans relied on Ukrainians to guard and assist at the main death Camps. - CHELMNO TREBLINKA SOBIBOR AND BELZECS
during ww2 Belezec was 200 km from Polish border. Ukraine did not exist as independent state. Belzec was chosen by Germans to kill Poles who were Jewish first of all. But Polish majority -Christians, were killed there as well. Germans brought there Jews from whole Europe but it "served" mostly those who lived in south eastern Poland. What I have read Germans used Ukrainian criminals to run the camp. They did not represent Ukrainian nation. Nazi found criminals useful to run Death Camps from Germany as well. I have not found any information about Polish criminals serving Germany. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Polish crime world has their rules, which surprisingly praise honor and loyality as main principles "God, honor, fatherland". I dont say Polish nation is sinless, its just what I managed to find out and i found it interesting. As far as I know Ukrainians has extremely cruel and harsh reality, when compared to other nations. Stalin in 1932-1933 put Ukraine into Holodomor. One of most horrible events in human history. Maybe this had somehow took part in Ukrainian plan to get rid Poles forever from lands which Poland governed although most of people there were Ukrainians. That was "Wolyn" genocide. In my opinion it was the most cruel mass murder humans had have ever do to other humans. Plan was to kill by torture as many Poles as possible. They murdered aprox 100 thousand of defenseless children, mother and elders, while Polish men fought with Germans and Soviets. Sad thing is that until today bodies of these people were not buried. Skeletons of children cut in half by saws, mothers with cut of heads, lay in modern western Ukraine in the forests still waiting for burial. Bones are so shallow that dogs and wild animals occasionally dig them out. And with all these support Ukrainians got from Poles, they still refuse to exhumate these people. Ukrainian patriotism is more and more celebrating Ukrainian Nazi from ww2. They want to believe nobody except Poles know about it. But even UN agreed that it happened. And "Bandera" movement killed also many Russians, and we know Russia will never let the world forget about Ukrainian nazi history
We relied on Ukrainians, Russians, ethnic Germans (we call them "Beutegermanen," Germans included in the loot), Anyone from any people or nation, anyone corrupt enough to join us. Of course we did! What does that matter, in regard to what we did?
Hello there,seeing shoah of Claude Lazmann I think that Poland,ucrania,Letonia and some more countries were antisemites because they believe that jews killed Christ.And many of them helped the germans.Not only a few but many.And were Happy that the jews got deportation,so they took over jews houses,business etc.Sorry about my english.
@user-ju2lo6si5z Hi, I am a "Pole", "Polish", "Polen", "Poolse" (terrible in all foregin languages ^^) Jestem Polakiem Lots of love from Poland 🇵🇱 to all people from Germany 🇩🇪 Thank you for remembering
I have never been there. The camp, itself, I believe is represented by the field of stones; the new buildings are (I think out of respect) next to it. The railroad part I would expect to be close to where the trains arrived. Each train consisted of fifty wagons, and each would deliver between fifty and eighty surviving passengers. The entire trainload would be handled overnight, so that the next train could arrive on the next day.
It covers the former grass covered site. The material in Britain is called SLAG. When a blast furnace is to be 'tapped' of its molten content, there is always some rock rubbish floating on top. This rock rubbish is retained and often played up. These piles grew to mini mountains where a small train chugged up them to tip more slag on the heap. These piles in UK largely gone for road building use bit by bit

wtf - field of rocks
It covers the former grass covered site. The material in Britain is called SLAG. When a blast furnace is to be 'tapped' of its molten content, there is always some rock rubbish floating on top. This rock rubbish is retained and often played up.
These piles grew to mini mountains where a small train chugged up them to tip more slag on the heap.
These piles in UK largely gone for road building use bit by bit
There is a museum too. The site now is a memorial to the 500,000 that were gassed there
