Holocaust — Poland
Weiss family members are deported to Sobibor — one of the six Operation Reinhard death camps — where nearly all arrivals were immediately gassed upon arrival.
Sobibor operated from May 1942 to October 1943 and killed approximately 170,000 to 250,000 Jews. It was one of three camps established under Operation Reinhard, the Nazi plan to exterminate all Jews in occupied Poland. The camp was dismantled after the October 1943 prisoner uprising led by Alexander Pechersky.
