Lunchbox Lecture: Unconditional Extermination: The Operation Reinhard SS Camps in Occupied Poland

Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka, known as the Operation Reinhard camps, are much less familiar to American audiences than Auschwitz. Yet the SS murdered more than 1.5 million Jews in these camps during World War II. This presentation will offer a detailed history of these three killing centers in 1942–1943 and where they might fit in the larger history of the Holocaust.

Presented by Jason Dawsey, PhD, Research Historian at the Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, The National WWII Museum
