Treblinka, the last to close, wiped out up to 925,000 people in the eighteen months before Operation Reinhard ended in November 1943, which made it almost as lethal as Belzec on a daily basis. However, at the time of its peak murderousness, from July 22 to August 27, 1942, Treblinka killed 280,000 people, an average of 56,000 per week, or 8,000 per day. During one of those five weeks, the daily average reached 10,000.
