A picture of a group of Jews used as forced labor in Belzec - the so called "Sonderkommando" Jews. The picture was taken in 1943, and since transports stopped arriving in December 1942, this group was probably made to exhume and cremate the corpses of the 600,000 killed in the camp in 1942. All these workers were either shot in Belzec or sent to Sobibor and shot there.
