Description
Treblinka camp, located just 100 kilometers from Warsaw, was the second largest Nazi extermination camp. It was in Treblinka that the Nazis murdered over 870,000 people within just one year.
Experience an informative tour of the Treblinka extermination camp.
Jews from occupied Poland, France, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Yugoslavia, Slovakia, and the Soviet Union were transported daily to Treblinka and, upon arrival, exterminated in specially built gas chambers. In August 1943 an armed uprising broke out and only about 100 prisoners survived. After the uprising, the camp was completely demolished and abandoned by the Germans. After World War II, one of the most impressive memorial sites of the Holocaust was built on the site of the former extermination camp. Although nowadays there are no buildings or barracks there, the experience of being at this moving historical site is unforgettable.
During this 6-hour tour to Treblinka you will see real places and hear authentic stories. You will find out how the plan of the Final Solution was put into action. You will visit the Museum of Fight and Martyrdom in Treblinka and see the exhibition devoted to the extermination camp. You will explore the area around the former camp and the memorials with a licensed English or German speaking guide. You will walk through the symbolic entrance gate and along the road leading to the camp. You will stop at a breathtaking memorial and you will hear about the history of Janusz Korczak and children from his orphanage.
