Locomotive Shed at Belzec; Loco Shed 1

Locomotive shed at Belzec station. These buildings was used to store the clothes of murdered Jews. The sheds behind the locomotive building served as transit warehouses for clothing, hair, and personal property looted from the camp victims. Such goods were first seized at the trackside unloading area in the camp and were then sorted within the Camp I sector before being shipped to Lublin.

The locomotive sheds were located a short walk from the station on the other side of several railway tracks.
