| View of the oak trees from Crevice Road |
The trees that grew in the area of the formal extermination camp at Belzec were planted by the Germans following the dismantling of the camp in order to remove the traces of their activities. During construction of the monument most of these trees were cut down with the exception of a group of oak trees in the corner of the Burial Ground nearest the museum.
The oak trees are symbolic 'witnesses' of the genocide committed at the Belzec extermination camp.
