Editing Hans Frank (section)

==Death camps==
Hans Frank participated in the growth of the politics leading to genocide in Poland. Under his guidance, mass murder became a deliberate policy.{{sfn|Housden|2003|p=114}} The General Government was the location of four out of six [[extermination camps]], namely: [[Bełżec extermination camp|Bełżec]], [[Treblinka extermination camp|Treblinka]], [[Majdanek concentration camp|Majdanek]] and [[Sobibór extermination camp|Sobibór]]; [[Chełmno extermination camp|Chełmno]] and [[Birkenau]] fell just outside the borders of the General Government.{{cn|date=April 2022}} Frank later claimed that the [[The Holocaust|extermination of Jews]] was entirely controlled by [[Heinrich Himmler]] and the [[SS]], and he — Frank — was unaware of the extermination camps in the General Government until early 1944, an assertion found to be untrue by the [[Nuremberg tribunal]]. During his testimony at Nuremberg, Frank claimed he submitted resignation requests to Hitler on 14 occasions, but Hitler would not allow him to resign. Frank fled the General Government in January 1945, as the [[Red Army]] advanced.{{cn|date=April 2022}}
