alancollins Says: Treblinka II did not have a crematorium so bodies were burnt in the open in a burning pit. The Nazis experimented with finding the most efficient way to burn bodies quickly. What size, shape, sex and fuel burnt quickly.
alancollins Says: The Monument stands where the gas chambers of the extermination camp once stood. It is surrounded by a forest of 17000 stones, which represents the number of people who were murdered each day when the camp was in full production. I took the picture from a distance so I could...
evert_n Says: There's not much anything left, but they've build a huge monument there and there's a lot of other things, stones put there later. The camp is mostly just forest, the stones of the "black road" still remain though. When we visited there the day was very hot, and the place...
alancollins Says: The camp is out in the middle of nowhere and I guess that is why the location was chosen in the first place. It is not to difficult too find if you are driving and there are some direction signs. It is next to what could be described as a B road but the road is so bad that...
alancollins Says: There are 3 sites at Treblinka. The Extermination Camp (Treblinka II) is approximately 0.5km from the Main Car Park. Most visitors only go to the Extermination Camp because the Labour Camp (Treblinka I) is a further 2km walk. The third site is the Execution Site which is...

alancollins Says: This location is 2.5km from the main monument. It is listed as an execution site though I have been unable to find out anymore than this. It has a monument(pictured) grave stones and crosses.
alancollins Says: Prisoners from the Labour Camp were forced to work in the Quarry. The Stone Quarry is one of the few visible sites of the original camp
alancollins Says: The Labour Camp is 2km from Treblinka II and has even less visitors than the main Monument. During the 2 hours I spent at this end of the Treblinka Museum Site I only saw 1 car with visitors and no one on foot. The camp has only foundations left with a notice board...

There is nothing left of the camp in its original form. This picture is of the platform and what would have been the railway lines. Before news of the camp started to filter back, the victims were...

The extermination camp at Treblinka is second only in size to Auschwitz. It was built early in 1942 and was preceded by a penal labour camp built the previous year. More than half of the Polish...
