An essay reflecting on the author's experience of visiting Bełżec in Poland, the site of a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. The author writes as a Holocaust survivor, remembering the voices of his family members among those murdered there. He contrasts the 'seven empty hectares' of Bełżec with the far better known memorial sites at Auchwitz and Majdanek, and argues that Bełżec is the more haunting site.
