Daily routine
1500 Jews ran the camp.
14,000 Jews arrived daily,
undressed, had their gold teeth pulled and were gassed.
The
Goldjuden--Jews of
gold--were in charge of handling the money, gold, stocks, and jewelry. They
subjected the prisoners to an intimate search just before the gas chambers.
In September 1942, new gas
chambers were built, which could handle three thousand people in two hours
Babies were smashed
against trees.
Camp only gassed for eleven months
Treblinka exterminated Jews for eleven months, starting in July 1942, and
2,000,000 were killed and buried.
But as Germany was losing the war, the SS said: "Dig up
the bodies and burn them". In April of 1943, the Germans dug up the
bodies and burned 2500 at a time on large grids made of railway ties.
August 2 1943 camp revolt
Jews claim there was a revolt and the
camp was shut down.
