Description


Treblinka extermination camp

Treblinka [trɛˈblʲinka] was an extermination camp built by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland during World War II. It was located near the village of Treblinka in the modern-day Masovian Voivodeship north-east of Warsaw. The camp operated officially between 23 July 1942 and 19 October 1943 as part of Operation Reinhard, the most deadly phase of the Final Solution.[3] During this time, more than 800,000 Jews as well as unknown numbers of Romani people died in its gas chambers. The victims included men, women, and children.[6][7][8] Other estimates of the number killed at Treblinka exceed 1,000,000.[9][10]
