On March 17, 2021, the 79th anniversary of the beginning of "Aktion Reinhardt" was marked at the Museum and Memorial Site in Bełżec.

The first transport arrived at the death camp in Bełżec in the morning of March 17, 1942. It departed from Lublin and was followed with the second one - from Lwów. Starting from this day, about 179 transports with 430,000 Jewish men, women, and children came to the death camp in Bełżec until mid-December 1942.

Museum employees commemorated the victims by laying flowers and lighting candles at the Nisha Ohel.
