Abstract:
The Sonderkommandos 1005 were special units created to implement the large-scale German action to obliterate the traces of the mass killings committed by Nazis in occupied Eastern Europe. The first phase, which lasted from June 1942 to June 1943, saw the burning of bodies in the death camps of Bełżec, Treblinka and Sobibór. A second phase commenced in June 1943 when mass graves in Poland and the Eastern Territories began to be liquidated. Jews and other prisoners were taken to do the hard work, overseen by Nazis and their henchmen.
