Railcars were always overstuffed with victims. Many never made it to the camps, awaiting death
while gasping for air between their fellow humans.
Many perished en-route to the death camps. Prisoners were not fed, nor allowed to
use the restroom.

Site of the station platform at Treblinka where Jews disembarked. The stones lying to the side
represent the train tracks; the standing stones, the barbed wire fences.

Between eight and nine hundred thousand would perish here, including the Jews of Warsaw.
Treblinka was one of four “pure” death camps in Poland
-it served only to murder.

DeathGas Chamber-Crematorium complex at Dora Slave
Labor Camp. Those too weak to work would find their way here. Germans used carbon monoxide, car exhaust (gassing vans), and finally Zyklon B upon their victims.

Carbon monoxide gas chamber at Majdanek Elsewhere in this building Zyklon B was also used to
kill. Nazis guards could watch the dying through barred windows.

The words on the marker of this mass grave site at Bergen-Belsen reads: “Here lies 2500 dead.”
When the British troops arrived they were amazed and outraged at what they found.
