Archaeological Evidence of Mass Graves at Treblinka II

[Nessie]

So, a second hand report, with no primary sources of evidence. You would not normally believe the Central Jewish Historical Commission. You also gloss over how critical they are of the Soviets, who you usually claim were their masters. Do you believe them when they concluded TII was a death camp? Or do you just cherry-pick what suits you?

The geophysical survey work has identified rectangular pits, that are corroborated by eyewitnesses and the 1944 aerial photo. There are also photos of and witnesses to grave robbers digging at the site. All primary sourced evidence.

The evidence of the Jewish Historical Commission is as good as anyone else, more credible perhaps.

What about their claim that TII was a death camp?

I am not discussing their other works only their report on Treblinka used as a bombing range. I gave photos of how multiple bombs create rectangular pits.

They are not rectangular pits with straight edges and ramps, as found at TII.

None of your information is primary sourced, just mere rhetoric.

Lie, the evidence is from eyewitness statements, contemporaneous documents, photos, archaeological and circumstantial evidence around the operation of AR.

The exterminationists come here with the audacity to question the system?

If there were no one to question the system or the established order, we would still be in the trees, or in caves. Caves are the safest place in the world. There was nothing above caves. Why leave the cave, as the cave PhD would say 200,000 years ago? Why take another step? Because we are this way by nature. We are paying a high price, but the progress is great.

The great geniuses of humanity, and I am far from including myself among them, had little training in anything, some had nothing at all, some even had a mystery, but their learning was challenging concepts and driving disruptive developments. So in 2025 a group thinks that nothing outside the authority of a university is valid, that their logic is the one that prevails and that's it, the revisionists are Ignaz Semmelweis, we wash our hands of evaluating the chemistry of concentration camps and the thermodynamic limits of ovens and all the paperwork that contradicts the allegations and we are called crazy for not believing witnesses.

What about their claim that TII was a death camp?

If there was a death camp it was some 5km south of the current TII, at Kosow Lacki, at least according to the CIA reports and the elders of Wolka Okraglik.
"On 6 November 1945, investigating judge Z Łukaszkiewicz, in the presence of J. Maciejewski, a prosecutor of the District Court in Siedlce, K. Trautsolt, a sworn ground surveyor, witnesses Samuel Rajzman and Henryk Rajchman-Romanowski and Stanisław Kucharek, village leader of Wólka Okrąglik, inspected the site where Treblinka death camp was located, Kosów Lacki municipality."
The camp was founded on a portion of grounds belonging to the village of Wólka Okrąglik, Kosów Lacki municipality, Sokołów Podlaski district, Warsaw voivodeship, close to the border with Węgrów district. some two kilometres away and a paved way leading to the penal labour camp in Treblinka, which also was located some two kilometres west of the death camp. The concrete road and the death camp are connected via a paved road running along the north-western perimeter of the camp; this road is an extension of the aforementioned road leading to the labour camp.
The arbeitslager TI from the current TII memorial is 1.6 km SW not west.

There is a mention of a Treblinka III as well. This is the site of the current prison at Czerwony bor.
"The Treblinka-III camp was listed as "the death camp" for the Jews and was reported to be located at Czerwony Bor. As late as in 1944, its existence was also mentioned in the renowned wartime publication Ghetto Speaks published in New York (Encl. 6). The remote Czerwony Bor (Red Forest) was (and is) located forty kilometers north of the Treblinka-I and Treblinka-II camps. Additional documents regarding Treblinka-III are available from the Polish Historical Society in the USA (tel. 203--325--1079) and archives of the Polish Underground Study Trust in London (tel. 011-4481-992-6057)."...John Demjanjuk amicus curiae

They are not rectangular pits with straight edges and ramps, as found at TII.

Bombs would have obliterated all this so called "evidence" which never existed. This ground penetrating radar is not as precise as you claim.

A real historian would be interested in the above evidence and would not dismiss the obvious contradictions to the narrative promulgated.

Wólka Okrąglik is about 2 km from TII, and TII is about 1.9 km SW from TI. Definitely more south than west, but the description is otherwise accurate. I'm not sure why you take issue with it.

The Treblinka-III camp was listed as "the death camp" for the Jews

Well, that is odd.

In the course of the activities, with the witnesses and the village leader consulted for information and explanations, the following facts were established:
The closest village, Wólka Okrąglik, located to the north-east of the camp, is some 1.5 kilometers away, while the distance to the closest railway station, Treblinka, located to the north-west, is around 4 kilometers. Chronicles of Terror

This town is South-East of the camp.

Well, that is odd.

General Grot Rowecki (Polish Home Army..Armia Krajowa) planned an attack on the Treblinka Extermination Camp at Czerwony Bor.
Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, says:
Treblinka] was situated in a sparsely populated area near Malkinia,
a railway station on the main Warsaw-Białystok line; the camp’s precise
location was 2.5 miles (4 km) north west of the village and railway stop of
Treblinka. The site selected was heavily wooded and well hidden from
view.
The camp was laid out in a rectangle 1,312 feet wide by 1,968 feet long
(400 x 600 m),

This thread is about the archaeology of TII, the AR camp on the spur line to the Treblinka quarry and labour camp and in particular the 1945, 2011 and 2024 archaeological surveys.

If anyone wants to discuss other possible camps in the area, then make that into another thread.

Oh you mean the two Judenlagers mentioned by Marion Olszuk and the Russian bombing range.
