+ Operation Reinhard (1942–1943) was the largest single murder campaign of the
+ Holocaust, during which some 1.7 million Jews from German-occupied Poland were
+ murdered by the Nazis. Most perished in gas chambers at the death camps Belzec,
+ Sobibor, and Treblinka. However, the tempo, kill rates, and spatial dynamics of
+ these events were poorly documented. Using an unusual dataset originating from
+ railway transportation records, this study identifies an extreme phase of
+ hyperintense killing when >1.47 million Jews—more than 25% of the Jews killed
+ in all 6 years of World War II—were murdered by the Nazis in an intense,100-day
+ (~3-month) surge. Operation Reinhard is shown to be an extreme event, based on
+ kill rate, number, and proportion (>99.9%) of the population murdered in camps,
+ highlighting its singularly violent character, even compared to other more
+ recent genocides. The Holocaust kill rate is some 10 times higher than
+ estimates suggested by authorities on comparative genocide.
