Treblinka Extermination Camp Tour

Treblinka Museum of Struggle and Martyrdom commemorates cruel events from the World War II period. Two camps were established in Treblinka by the Nazis. One camp – Treblinka I, was a penal labor camp for Poles and Jews . Over 20,000 prisoners went through the camp of which 10,000 died slave work or mistreatment. Treblinka I operated between June 1941 and July 31, 1944. Treblinka I inmates worked in either the nearby gravel pit or irrigation area. Nearby Treblinka II Extermination Camp was ready on 11 July 1942. The deportation of the Jews of 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 till October 1943. Most of them were Jews from Poland. I offer private tour to Treblinka. I can pick you up from your hotel at your chosen time.

During Treblinka tour, you will have an opportunity to visit Treblinka, the second biggest and the one of the cruelest Nazi extermination camp, where 870,000 thousand people were mercilessly killed within sixteen months. In contrast to Auschwitz, there is not much to see at first sight – while Auschwitz is meticulously reconstructed and located in a cultural landscape with historic traditions, Treblinka is in an “outback” site with no big cities nearby, only fields and woods. Auschwitz involved immense terrors, but also cynical camouflage games, while Treblinka was solely a desperate death factory. In Treblinka, there is space for your imagination and thoughts. Many people say that this is where the power of the place lies.
