The Belzec extermination camp was the site in eastern Poland, of the murder of more than half-a-million Jews between 1942-43. Information about Belzec is scarce, as very few escaped death there. One who did, Rudolf Reder, managed to survive to the end of the war and in January 1946 submitted a deposition to the Main Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes in Cracow. His book is the only known Belzec survivor testimony to be published. See M.M. Rubel, Belzec [by] Rudolf Reder, in: Polin, Vol. 13 (2000).
