Description
Treblinka Museum of Struggle and Martyrdom commemorates the cruel events of World War II. Two camps were established in Treblinka by the Nazis. One camp – Treblinka I, a penal labor camp for Poles and Jews. Over 20,000 prisoners went through the camp, of which 10,000 died from slave labor or mistreatment. Treblinka I operated between June 1941 and July 31, 1944. Treblinka I inmates worked in either the nearby gravel pit or the irrigation area. The nearby Treblinka II Extermination Camp was ready on 11 July 1942. The deportation of the Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto began on 22 July 1942, which was the 9th of Av, Tisha B’Av, according to the Jewish calendar. According to the SS Brigadeführer Jürgen Stroop report, a total of approximately 300,000 Jews were transported in freight trains from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka during the “Great Extermination Aktion” from 22 July to 21 September 1942. Around 870,000 people were killed in the camp between July 1942 and October 1943. Most of them were Jews from Poland. I offer private tours to Treblinka. I can pick you up from your hotel at your chosen time.
