Treblinka extermination camp

Treblinka was a Nazi extermination camp operated in Poland during World War II, primarily used to systematically murder Jews as part of the Holocaust. It functioned from 1942 to 1943, where victims arrived mainly by train and were quickly killed in gas chambers, with many buried in mass graves or burned. Treblinka was designed solely for efficient mass murder, resulting in the deaths of approximately 800,000 to 900,000 people. It was part of the larger Nazi effort to annihilate the Jewish population in Europe. Today, it serves as a memorial to the victims and a reminder of the atrocities committed.
