All clothes, food and valuables brought by the prisoners were sorted and stored (barracks 32, 34, 36, 42-44). Further down the narrow, fenced-in passage toward the gas chambers, the hair of the women was cut and stored (45). People were then forced into the five gas chambers (51) with a total capacity of 500 prisoners. The bodies were disposed of in mass graves or open crematoria (54). The camp staff consisted of about 30 SS men, 100 Ukrainian helpers and about 1,000 Jewish laborers. Most victims were Jews from eastern Poland, the Soviet Union, from Austria, Holland, Belgium and France.
