Das Nazi-Konzentrationslager Treblinka. - Zur Verhaftung des ehemaligen Kommandanten Franz Stangl in Brasilien
Nicht weit von der Eisenbahnstation Malkinia, nordöstlich von Warschau, liegt Treblinka, wo die Nazi-Kriegsverbrecher eines der schrecklichsten Konzentrationslager errichteten, in dem annähernd 750.000 Juden aus allen Ländern Europas vernichtet wurden. Unter härtesten Bedingungen und bei strengster Aufsicht von Nazipolozisten mußten die Gefangenen hier arbeiten.
Das Straflager Treblinka II war gerade fertiggestellt, als die Massendeportation aus dem Warschauer Ghetto begann. Eine besondere Eisenbahnstation mit Umkleidehalle wurde errichtet. Die Opfer erhielten Seife und wurden zum "Bad" geführt, in dem die Gaskammern eingebaut waren. Täglich kamen die Transporte an, die Menschen waren in Güterwagen - sogenannte Viehwagen - gepreßt, hatten weder Nahrung, Wasser noch frische Luft. Wenn sich die Transporte häuften, wurden die Opfer unter Schlägen mit Reitgerten zu den Gaskammern getrieben.

Nazi concentration camp Treblinka. Concerning the arrest of the former commandant Franz Stangl in Brazil.
Not far from the Malkinia railroad station, northeast of Warsaw, lies Treblinka where the Nazi war criminals built one of the worst concentration camps, in which they murdered by industrial methods in the neighbourhood of 750,000 people. The prisoners had to work here under the hardest conditions and the strictest supervision of Nazi policemen.
Punishment camp Treblinka II was ready for operation when the mass deportations from the Warsaw Ghetto began. A special railroad station with an undressing hall was built. The victims were given soap led to the the "baths" where the gas chambers were installed. Daily the transports came in, the people were in freight cars, so called cattle cars, jammed together had neither food, water nor fresh air. When the transports backed up the victims were driven to the gas chambers under blows from riding crops.
