Are you thinking of one of the uprisings? I think that particular one took place at Sobibor...Or possibly Treblinka. Yeah. 200 Jews escaped and systematically killed the SS that were in the camp. More than 500 tried to escape; many of them were gunned down by the snipers in the guard towers (which they had planned to destroy).
Note: I double checked to see where this uprising took place. It happened at Auschwitz-Birkenau, in January of 1944. The sonderkommandos, or Jews who took the dead to the creamation ovens, staged a coup against the SS leaders of the camp, as mentioned above.

What year did the first Nazi death camp become fully operational?
The term death camp is vague. It is generally used for extermination camps, that is camps which had exterminationas their sole or main purpose. The first such camp to become fully operational was Chelmno, where routine mass gassings of Jews started on 8 December 1941. The system of extermination camps was fully operational by April 1942. However, if you simply mean a concentration camp (in the sense of a horrific labour and punishment camp) then Dachau, which opened on 22 March 1933, was the first. Two camps - the Auschwitz group and Majdanek - combined both functions.
