The genocide committed here should be remembered and conclusions must be drawn so that such ruthless crimes committed against humanity by other humans would never recur. Although it has been many years since the facts described below took place, the size of the tragedy which happened in front of Europe and the whole world, is still terrifying. Waging the war, the Nazi Germany had planned the genocide of the entire nations with cruel precision. Firstly the Jews and Gypsies, later the Poles and the Slavs. It was mostly committed in the extermination camps
In the Lublin region two such camps were located, Belzec and Sobibor. The reason for the establishment of the two extermination camps in the region was the existence of a large Jewish population on the territory. The Germans had intended to round up and isolate about 5 million Jews from Western and Central Europe in the Lublin district. The first deported were transported and settled in the ghettos of Lublin, Chelm, Wlodawa, Trawniki, Piaski, Dorochucza, Siedliszcze, Sawin, Wisznice and many other places. The ghettos, backbreaking work, starvation-food rations, appeared for the Nazi to be too long killing processes. They conceived an inhumane plot of the creation of extermination camps.
