Treblinka (Poland) - Memorial complex and museum at the former Extermination Camp
Project website:
Treblinka was an extermination camp, built and operated by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland during World War II. It was located in a forest north-east of Warsaw, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the Treblinka train station in what is now the Masovian Voivodeship. The camp operated between 23 July 1942 and 19 October 1943 as part of Operation Reinhard, the deadliest phase of the Final Solution. During this time, it is estimated that between 700,000 and 900,000 Jews were killed in its gas chambers, along with 2,000 Romani people. More Jews were killed at Treblinka than at any other Nazi extermination camp apart from Auschwitz. Managed by the German SS and the Trawniki guards – enlisted voluntarily from among Soviet POWs to serve with the Germans – the camp consisted of two separate units. Treblinka I was a forced-labour camp (Arbeitslager) whose prisoners worked in the gravel pit or irrigation area and in the forest, where they cut wood to fuel the cremation pits. Between 1941 and 1944, more than half of its 20,000 inmates died from summary executions, hunger, disease and mistreatment. The second camp, Treblinka II, was an extermination camp (Vernichtungslager), referred to euphemistically as the SS-Sonderkommando Treblinka by the Nazis. A small number of Jewish men who were not killed immediately upon arrival became its Jewish slave-labour units called Sonderkommandos, forced to bury the victims' bodies in mass graves. These bodies were exhumed in 1943 and cremated on large open-air pyres along with the bodies of new victims. Gassing operations at Treblinka II ended in October 1943 following a revolt by the Sonderkommandos in early August. Several Trawniki guards were killed and 200 prisoners escaped from the camp; almost a hundred survived the subsequent chase. The camp was dismantled ahead of the Soviet advance. A farmhouse for a watchman was built on the site and the ground ploughed over in an attempt to hide the evidence of genocide. In postwar Poland, the government bought most of the land where the camp had stood, and built a large stone memorial there between 1959 and 1962. In 1964 Treblinka was declared a national monument of Jewish martyrdom in a ceremony at the site of the former gas chambers. In the same year, the first German trials were held regarding war crimes committed at Treblinka by former SS members. After the end of communism in Poland in 1989, the number of visitors coming to Treblinka from abroad increased. An exhibition centre at the camp opened in 2006. It was later expanded and made into a branch of the Siedlce Regional Museum...

Auschwitz concentration camp was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was the largest of the German concentration camps, consisting of Auschwitz I (the Stammlager or base camp); Auschwitz II--Birkenau (the Vernichtungslager or extermination camp); Auschwitz III--Monowitz, also known as Buna--Monowitz (a labor camp); and 45 satellite camps.
Belzec, was the first of the Nazi German extermination camps created for implementing Operation Reinhard during the Holocaust. Operating from March 17, 1942 to the end of June 1943, the camp was situated in occupied Poland about 1 km south of the local railroad station of Bełżec in the Lublin district of the General Government.
Between 430,000 and 500,000 Jews are believed to have been killed at Bełżec, along with an unknown number of Poles and Roma;only one or two Jews are known to have survived Bełżec and the war: Rudolf Reder and Chaim Hirszman. The lack of survivors, who could have given testimony, is the primary reason why this camp is so little known despite the enormous number of victims.
Chełmno extermination camp, After annexation by Germany Kulmhof was included into Reichsgau Wartheland in 1939. The camp operated in two periods, from December 8, 1941 to March 1943, and from June 1944 to January 18, 1945, to kill the Jews of the Łódź Ghetto and the Warthegau. In between these two periods, modifications were made to the camp's killing procedure.
At least 152,000 people were killed in the camp, mainly Poles, Jews from the Łódź Ghetto and the surrounding area, along with Romani from Greater Poland and some Hungarian Jews, Czechs, and Soviet prisoners of war. Most of the victims were killed by the use of gas vans, and the camp served the purpose of early experimentation and development of methods of mass murder, some of which were applied in later phases of The Holocaust.
Majdanek was a German Nazi concentration camp on the outskirts of Lublin, Poland, established during the German Nazi occupation of Poland. The camp operated from October 1, 1941 until July 22, 1944, when it was captured nearly intact by the advancing Soviet Red Army. Although conceived as a forced labor camp and not as an extermination camp, over 79,000 people died there (59,000 of them Polish Jews) during the 34 months of its operation.
Sobibor was a Nazi German extermination camp located on the outskirts of the town of Sobibór, Lublin Voivodeship of occupied Poland as part of Operation Reinhard; the official German name was SS-Sonderkommando Sobibor. Jews from Poland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Czechoslovakia, as well as Soviet prisoners of war (POWs) (many of them Jewish), were transported to Sobibor by rail, and suffocated in gas chambers that were fed with the exhaust of a petrol engine. One source states that up to 200,000 people were killed at Sobibor
Treblinka was a Nazi extermination camp in occupied Poland during World War II near the village of Treblinka in the modern-day Masovian Voivodeship of Poland.
During this time, approximately 850,000 men, women and children were killed at Treblinka. The camp, which was operated by the SS and Eastern European Trawnikis, consisted of Treblinka I and II. The first camp was a forced-labour center. Inmates worked in either the nearby gravel pit or irrigation area. Between June 1941 and July 23, 1944, more than half of its 20,000 inmates died from execution, exhaustion, or mistreatment.
Treblinka II was designed as a death factory. More than 99% of all arrivals at this site were sent immediately to its gas chambers where they were killed by exhaust fumes from captured Soviet tank engines. The small number who were not killed immediately became Sonderkommandos. These slave labor groups were forced to bury the victims' bodies in mass graves. Later corpses were burned on massive open-air pyres.
Killing operations at Treblinka II were ended on October 19, 1943, following a revolt by its Sonderkommandos. Several German guards were killed when 300 prisoners escaped. The camp was then dismantled and a farmhouse was built in an attempt to hide the evidence of genocide.
estimated the total figure of murdered Jews at a minimum of 250,000.

Alex Werber of Tel Aviv never wanted to take this trip: to Poland, where much of his family died in Nazi concentration camps. But he couldn't refuse his mother's last wish.Alex Werber's mother narrowly survived the Holocaust. But in her will she wrote that her ashes should be strewn in Treblinka extermination camp, so that she could be close to her murdered relatives. Her son Alex was two years old when his parents left Poland in 1956. They left because of their horrible memories, but also because anti-Semitism was still virulent in Poland. For Alex Werber, the trip into the past was not easy. But his mother's last will demands that he find reconciliation with the land of his birth, Poland.

Annihilation : The Destruction of European Jews - The Trap
Seventy years after Auschwitzs liberation, this documentary film collection sets out to examine a story whose roots begin before the dawn of the 20th century - a story which is still being played out today. Divided into 8 episodes, the films will travel back to the roots of the genocide. Our central question is not Why
? but How were Europes Jews destroyed? How was such a crime conceived, implemented and carried out, first in Germany and then across Europe. The Final Solution is inexplicable unless one takes into account the participation of all of the regimes sectors, its entire social structure. For the destruction of Europes Jews was not the work of a little group of hardened criminals. An entire society took part. On their own scale, each link of the chain applied normal procedures to an exceptional situation, either mechanically or out of love for work well done, applying the jewels of ingenuity to define, classify and transport, as if despite the languages camouflaging intent nothing separated the Final Solution from business as usual.
The Trap
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1938, the Third Reich, which had just annexed Austria, was applying a policy of systematic expulsion of foreign Jews resident on its territory. By 1 January 1939, there were no longer any Jewish businesses on Reich soil. The situation of German Jews grew worse: banished from German society, demonised by the regime, they were presented as the enemy within, but no longer had any possibility of leaving the country. The invasion of Poland by the Reich, on 1 September 1939, dragged Europe into the Second World War but war was just the start of the horror that was to come.

The Nazis Tried To Erase This Extermination Camp, But Archaeologists Uncovered Its Awful Secrets

**************************************************************
Deep in a forest in the east of Poland, a team of archaeologists is hard at work. And, slowly but surely, the evidence of an unthinkable crime has begun to emerge. What more Nazi-related horrors have they uncovered, buried here for decades beneath a tarmac road?
This excavation began in 2007. Researchers from the Yad Vashem International Institute for Holocaust Research were working on land near Sobibór, a village in Poland’s Lublin district. They knew the area had been home to a Nazi extermination camp, although little evidence of its gruesome past remained.

--------------------------------------------------------
However, the team, working alongside Sobibór Museum director Marek Bem and locally based archaeologist Wojciech Mazurek, began to make some very unnerving findings. And, over the years, these warranted further excavations.
Finally, in September 2014, the archeologists made a historic announcement. The institute, working in partnership with the Majdanek State Museum and the German-Polish Foundation, had uncovered overwhelming evidence that an unspeakable horror had taken place at Sobibór.

The Crows of Majdanek, a death Camp in Poland
The Majdanek labor and extermination camp, in eastern Poland is not the most famous or most visited Nazi camp. And yet, the atmosphere is more poignant, more collected than in others, more touristic.
This is undoubtedly because of the long gray plain, silent and empty.
Because of t the dingy barracks, detailing all aspects of the massacre and the dramas that took place there.
The ubiquitous crows, shouting and fighting, are the only sign of life in this huge cemetery.
It is infinitely sad, but there is also an infinite compassion for the victims who have been there.
And this compassion imprints in our hearts the Souvenir of what should never happen again.

The walk of death at Sobibor
SEE MY HISTORY PAGE ON FACEBOOK :
The death camp at Sobibor operated from May 1942 - October 1943. In that time around 250,000 people were brought there and killed. This short film shows the route they took from the railway station to the gas chamber and how it looks today.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites and give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via and and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
I have also a second blog on the site . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.

Auschwitz Concentration Camp - Documentary
Auschwitz inhumane imprisonment was a system of German Nazi death camps and eradication camps constructed and worked by the Third Reich in Polish territories attached by Nazi Germany amid World War II. It comprised of Auschwitz I (the first camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a mix focus/elimination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a work camp to staff an IG Farben industrial facility), and 45 satellite camps.
Auschwitz I was initially built to hold Polish political detainees, who started to touch base in May 1940. The main killing of detainees occurred in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went ahead to end up distinctly a noteworthy site of the Nazi Final Solution to the Jewish Question. From mid 1942 until late 1944, transport trains conveyed Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over German-involved Europe, where they were slaughtered with the pesticide Zyklon B. An expected 1.3 million individuals were sent to the camp, of whom no less than 1.1 million passed on. Around 90 percent of those murdered were Jewish; roughly 1 in 6 Jews slaughtered in the Holocaust kicked the bucket at the camp. Others extradited to Auschwitz included 150,000 Poles, 23,000 Romani and Sinti, 15,000 Soviet detainees of war, 400 Jehovah's Witnesses, and countless others of various nationalities, including an obscure number of gay people. A large number of those not murdered in the gas chambers passed on of starvation, constrained work, irresistible maladies, singular executions, and therapeutic trials.
Over the span of the war, the camp was staffed by 7,000 individuals from the German Schutzstaffel (SS), roughly 12 percent of whom were later indicted atrocities. A few, including camp commandant Rudolf Höss, were executed. The Allied Powers declined to accept early reports of the outrages at the camp, and their inability to bomb the camp or its railroads stays questionable. One hundred forty-four detainees are known to have gotten away from Auschwitz effectively, and on October 7, 1944, two Sonderkommando units—detainees doled out to staff the gas chambers—propelled a brief, unsuccessful uprising.
As Soviet troops moved toward Auschwitz in January 1945, a large portion of its populace was emptied and sent on a demise walk. The detainees staying at the camp were freed on January 27, 1945, a day now recognized as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In the next decades, survivors, for example, Primo Levi, Viktor Frankl, and Elie Wiesel, composed journals of their encounters in Auschwitz, and the camp turned into a prevailing image of the Holocaust. In 1947, Poland established the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on the site of Auschwitz I and II, and in 1979, it was named an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Treblinka Concentration Camp by Jacob 2014
Treblinka was an extermination camp built by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland during World War II.
Perspectives: Memorial at Treblinka
This video showcases various physical viewpoints on the memorial that now stands at the site of the Treblinka extermination camp and its surroundings. As one of the Operation Reinhard camps, somewhere between 700,000 and 900,000 Jews were murdered there. Our group of eighteen students and two professors of Holocaust history and memory explored the memorial site on May 26, 2018.
One of the most striking features of the memorial site is one’s inability to gather the full scope of it from any one point around or within it. There is always a corner to be turned; more to be seen in what seems to be an endless array of stones commemorating different peoples and families who perished at Treblinka.
At the beginning of the video, the sound of buzzing bees and other insects can be heard and seen. They were all over the entryway to the memorial site and set a foreboding tone for our visit to Treblinka. The bugs constituted one part of the nature by which we were surrounded during our visit; there is a stark dissonance between what took place at Treblinka in the early 1940s and the buzzing bees, singing birds, and fast-growing grass that now occupy the space.
The nature of the memorial allows each visitor to experience it individually and vastly differently from one another. It is not a museum exhibit; there are no plaques telling observers what each stone object is supposed to represent nor can original remnants of the extermination camp be seen. The video attempts to showcase this multi-perspective, individual experience that is the memorial at Treblinka, while allowing the viewer to observe the memorial site in contrast with the natural sounds and sights that surround it.
