I just went there two weeks ago, this exhibit was extremely powerful and shows the process from getting off the train, stripping down, being gassed, and being cremated from start to finish

Your photo is too dark and only shows about 15% of this enormous display. I really don’t know what you’re trying to convey with this image

Treblinka was only open for 13 months. People were killed in gas chambers with exhaust from internal combustion engines, not Zyklon B. In the first 5 months, 713,000 people were murdered. In the first months, the corpses were dumped in mass graves. Later, the corpses were dug up and burned along with the newly gassed. The total number murdered is estimated at 900,000.

However, three people who were eyewitnesses to events in and around the camp have estimated the total at over 1 million.

Anyone interested in this topic:

I HIGHLY recommend The Case for Auschwitz: Evidence from the Irving Trial by Robert Jan Van Pelt. The book is testimony from a libel case from the UK. At issue was a Holocaust denier’s attempt to sue Penguin Books for libel for calling him full of shit, basically.

Jan Van Pelt is an expert called by Penguin and addresses denier arguments one by one. It’s very powerful. It goes into detail about the planning, design, and adaptions to this murder factory. All the documentation, planning, how we know. The schematics, the orders, diaries from visitors, etc. The term banality of evil was coined for this kind of thing. Very powerful.
