For the International Day of the Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps, the FSB of the Russian Federation declassified some documents on the investigation of Nazi crimes in the Treblinka death camp.

“The conveyor of death” functioned from late 1941 to the end of July 1944.

According to those involved in the atrocities, up to 2,500 people were killed per day in Treblinka by shooting and suffocation with gases.

The guards in the camp were SS men and guards from among the former Soviet prisoners of war who voluntarily surrendered to the enemy and received special training.

This camp in Treblinka was built by the Germans specifically for the mass extermination, mainly, of the Jewish and Polish population. Trains with up to three to four carriages per day arrived at this camp from Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, France, and other European countries.

People of both sexes and different ages, including senile old people and infants, were destroyed by Germans in “slaughterhouses” every day and brutally murdered in other ways.

During the 11 months of my service in the death camp, more than two million Jewish people were exterminated, able-bodied women and men were put to death in “slaughterhouses,” and those who were sick or exhausted were passed through the so-called “infirmary,” led to pits, shot, and burned.

We spoke with Anton Sayenko, a member of the Association of World War II Historians, about one of the most terrifying places ever created by people.

At first, the Treblinka I labor camp was built where workers were held.

They built the Treblinka II camp, which is known as the Death camp.

The Nazis also committed war crimes and crimes against humanity on the territory of Treblinka I. In fact, not much is known about the Nazi Treblinka camp since the camp was destroyed by the occupation forces before the arrival of the Red Army.

When the Red Army arrived, there was practically nothing left of the camp.

The Nazis were afraid that Soviet troops would come to this territory, and these crimes would become known to the world community.

They tried to hide the traces of their crimes.

That is why hundreds of thousands of corpses in the pits were burned and destroyed, so that practically no traces remained, and this territory was sown with grass as if nothing happened here.

However, the testimony of those arrested by Soviet Union counterintelligence bodies after the Red Army came to this territory shed light on the events that took place there in 1941 to 1944, declassified documents, and these materials reveal to us the white spots of the participation of Soviet prisoners of war collaborators, primarily Ukrainians, in crimes against civilians in European countries brought to this concentration camp; there are details of their personal involvement in the executions and torture of Soviet citizens.

In fact, this is the second most destroyed camp after Auschwitz, the scale of the genocide committed by the Nazis and their collaborators in the occupied territories is astounding.

As much as I’ve studied history, I’ve never learned anything scarier than a concentration camp.

Now, in Ukraine, we have seen swastikas on helmets … swastikas on drones.

[…]

The disclosure of such historical sources, their study allows the broad masses to see what their their own eyes what fascism is and what it carries.

And now, when some people in the world are trying to revise history, such documents are more useful than ever.

They shatter the harsh reality of attempts to flirt with fascism.
