Sobibór Museum and Memorial Site

The Sobibór Museum and Memorial Site commemorates the victims of the German Nazi extermination camp that operated between 1942 and 1943 as part of "Operation Reinhard". It is a branch of the State Museum at Majdanek.

Location and surroundings

The site is located in the eastern part of the Lublin Voivodeship, near Włodawa, by the former Sobibór railway station.

History

According to current estimates, around 180,000 Jews were murdered at the Sobibór camp. In October 1943, one of the largest prisoner revolts in a German extermination camp took place here.
