The Treblinka railway sidings and the wait to be murdered.

In this video you can see the location of the railway sidings at Treblinka. It was here, as from 23 July 1942, that railcars, full of Jewish people, waited for their turn to be murdered in the gas chambers at Treblinka. There were two sidings, each could hold a train with eighty wagons, a unit of twenty of which were decoupled and taken to the death camp some four kilometres distant. This was the location of Dantesque scenes of nightmarish horror, as people crammed into these vans like sometimes happens on metro systems at rush hour, tried to break out to reach water. Denied water and food over journeys that could have taken days, in heat where the outside air temperature could reach 35C, tens of thousand of people suffocated to death even before they reached Trebinka. At these sidings, the victims could wait days before being taken into the camp. In this video I show you the recent memorial and explain what happened at this location.
