Location of the Camp
The Treblinka extermination camp is located 62 miles northeast of the Polish capitol, Warsaw; near the town of Małkinia Górna. The camp is located 1.5 miles away from the Triblinka railroad, which played a large part in the set up the Nazis came up with. The camp was seperated into two parts, Triblinka I and Triblinka II
Nazi's Plan for Treblinka
Treblinka was designed purely for extermination, its area measuring just 600 by 400 metres (1968' x 1312') and was one of four secret camps of Operation Reinhardt the other three being Belzec, Sobibór and Majdanek.Operation Reinhardt was overseen by SS-Obergruppenführer Odilo Globocnik in Poland as Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler's deputy. Unlike other Nazi concentration camps, Operation Reinhardt camps reported directly to Himmler's office (the RSHA) in Berlin. Himmler kept the control of the program close to him but delegated the work to Globocnik. Operation Reinhardt used the euthanasia program (Action T4) for site selection, construction and trained personnel.
