Treblinka Extermination Center

Terry Riversong 2022

Treblinka was a Nazi extermination camp located in occupied Poland, operational from July 1942 until October 1943, where over 900,000 Jews, as well as Romani people and other victims, were murdered. It was one of the execution sites of Operation Reinhard

Treblinka consisted of two main sections: Treblinka I, a forced labor camp, and Treblinka II, the extermination camp where mass killings took place. Victims arriving by train were often told they were being relocated for work, but upon arrival, most were immediately led to gas chambers disguised as shower facilities. The camp utilized carbon monoxide from engine exhaust to kill large numbers of people quickly and in secret.

After the camp was closed in 1943, the Nazis attempted to cover up the evidence of their crimes by dismantling the camp and relocating survivors.

Today, Treblinka serves as a memorial site commemorating the victims of the Holocaust. It stands as a somber reminder of the atrocities committed during World War II.
