Description
English: Sobibor extermination camp of the Operation Reinhard in occupied Poland during World War II. Aerial photograph of the camp perimeter.

Known camp structures are not there yet, including Camp II barracks (lower centre) built for goods stolen from Holocaust victims, as well as Camp III (Jewish Sonderkommando compound, upper right), and Camp IV (for slave labor, right) abandoned after the Sobibor revolt of 1943. The railway unloading platform (with visible prewar train station) marked with the red arrow, location of gas chambers marked with a cross. Undressing area marked with square with adjacent "Road to Heaven" through the forest marked by a dashed line. Source of the overlaid data: B. Rutherford, 2000, and the Sobibor Museum.
