Lunchbox Lecture: Unconditional Extermination: Operation Reinhard and the SS Camps at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka
|
|
By Jason Dawsey, PhD, Research Historian at the Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, The National WWII Museum 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. This Lunchbox Lecture is free and open to the public to attend in The National WWII Museum’s Karen H. Bechtel and William M. Osborne III Media Auditorium. For those unable to make it to the Museum’s campus, the lecture will also be livestreamed on Facebook, Vimeo, and YouTube, and will be available as a recording after the fact on both platforms. For additional information, please email Maggie Hartley, EdD, Director of Public Engagement, at maggie.hartley@nationalww2museum.org. This program is proudly sponsored by AARP Louisiana.
