Go to Treblinka Go to
Treblinka keep your eyes wide open sharpen your hearing stop your breathing and listen to the voices which emerge from every grain of that earth – Go to Treblinka They are waiting there for you They long to the voice of your life to the sign of your existence, to the pace of your feet to human look understanding and remembering to caress of love over their ashes – Go to Treblinka go by your own free will go by the power of pain over the horror which has happened from the depth of understanding and the aching heart which has not accepted – listen to Them there with all your senses! Go to Treblinka there the green silence, golden or white which embrace Them each season of the year will tell you stories of the stories about life which became forbidden and impossible – Go to Treblinka watch how time has stopped there listen to the standing time, to the dead thundering silence and to the human stones weeping there in silence Go to Treblinka to feel it even for just one second – Go to Treblinka grow a flower by a hot tear, by human breath against one stone – memory of a whole community on earth which is their flesh and ashes. They are waiting there in Treblinka for you to come and listen to Them cry within the silence and in total mute identification, unifying bring Them each time the story of life which continues and of reviving love. Go to Treblinka for generations to generations Do not leave Them alone - Translated

TREBLINKA EXTERMINATION CAMP
NEVER
AGAIN!!!
Symbolic
Stones In Death
(near
From
the "Plan of Symbolic Stones" published by the
The "Aktion Reinhard" Death
THE EXTERMINATION CAMP in Treblinka was built in the spring of 1942 near an existing penal labour camp and covered an area of 17 hectares. The camp was surrounded by a high barbed wire fence camouflaged with interwoven greenery to hide what was happening inside. Anti-tank obstacles ("Spanish horses") and rolls of barbed wire were placed outside the fence. Watch towers were additionally positioned around the camp.
The staff consisted of 25-30 Germans and Austrians who supervised the camp together with a guard company of about 100 men, mostly Ukrainians.
The first camp commandant was Dr Irmfried Eberl who was later replaced by Franz Stangl, with Kurt Franz as deputy commandant.
On
In order to erase traces of the crime the corpses were cremated on specially constructed grates.
On
After the revolt, the camp was gradually liquidated and by November all the camp buildings and installations had been demolished. A house was built for a Ukrainian family and the area of the former camp ploughed up and planted with lupines. The building was burnt down before the arrival of the front.

Message
This
Web Page is dedicated to the memory of the communities who were liquidated in
Treblinka.
The aim is to have a link to a community's web site; to
highlight and commemorate the murdered Jews, to bear witness to the life and
culture behind each stone which stands in Treblinka, crying to empty skies,
matzeva to those without a tomb...
It is my wish that by the end of year 2001, all
communities will have a memorial web page, to remember the life of my people
before became frozen
stone, remaining as silent rock in the valley of the shadow of
death: Treblinka.

As a
youth I spent hours going through the top drawer of my parents' dresser where
they kept the family photographs and letters from
Over the past several years, I have documented the history of JANOW SOKOLSKI and my family. It was with deep pain that I learned that the death and destruction of the Jews of Janow along with millions of others was at Treblinka. Treblinka's sole purpose was to kill. It was not a concentration camp or a labor camp; its mission was to kill our families as fast as possible.
A stone
monument has now been placed at Treblinka to memorialize this community.
Hopefully my work and the work of many others like Stanley Diamond and Arnie Pearlstein whose families came from Janow
will tell the full story of the community. Ada Holtzman of Tel Aviv has encouraged and assisted me. Tomasz Wisniewski of
JewishGen has become a primary resource for Jewish historical and genealogical research. I urge all to use it and support it financially.
Remembering
JANOW
SOKOLSKI assures that the story will
continue. As I searched the past, I located family in the
