So Werinick, in your speculative history, is not talking about the Malkinia transit camp either, because it wasn't by the railroad. You must be imagining there was some other large camp there, I suggest you start digging along the tracks if you want to prove its existence.
Wow, Bombsaway, thank you for sharing this... if anybody can help and find any more context to the original source of this that would be
really helpful.
You can see back on RODOH we were actually speculating that this was the area that contained the Transit Camp as described by that map! And this area is exactly "eastern part of town, along Nurska Street."

Here's a geographical reference for what we are discussing, from John Ball's work:
You can see the north is Malkinia. Then, going South and crossing the Bug you reach Treblinka and Treblinka station. Then going further South along the Malkinia-Siedlce line, the spur branches off to the Treblinka Quarry and currently alleged extermination camp.
John Ball identified a camp north of Malkinia as the "Malkinia transit camp" which you can see in that image. Contra John Ball, we were speculating at Rodoh that the area east of town in Malkinia housed the transit camp. Here is a modern day aerial view of Malkinia:
The blue line is the Warsaw-Bialystok line. The Red line is Nurska Street. The camp we all call "Treblinka II" is far from the boundaries of this satellite image, about 6.5km south of the image above. The yellow box is about where the next image was taken.
This image was taken by the Luftwaffe in April 1944. Yad Vashem, funnily enough, has a caption for this image that reads
Treblinka, Poland, A German aerial photograph, probably of the camp's area, 16/04/1944.
I have added some annotations and added Wiernik's map to show the correspondence.
In the RODOH thread I even took a stroll through google street view and saw the many rail tracks at this exact location and concluded that this would be a logical place for a transit camp:
Again we made these observations BEFORE we heard of any accounts of "a transit camp in Małkinia for the Jewish population, set up by Germans in the eastern part of the town, along Nurska Street". That is a very significant piece of information. Putting the transit camp South of Warsaw-Bialystok and along Nurska Street would put the Malkinia Transit Camp -
AKA Treblinka at the location we identified in the RODOH thread. I never thought I would just see a source say that there was a transit camp there, though, that is WILD. OBVIOUSLY Wiernik's map is referencing this camp, not the "Treblinka Work Camp" 7 kilometers away from the Warsaw-Bialystok line, which looks nothing like that map!
I suspect that many Revisionists for the first time would be learning about this account of a Jewish transit camp on the east side of town at Malkinia along Nurska street.
That was "Treblinka." The Treblinka Work Camp was a secret Jewish sorting camp created to carry out Operation Reinhardt in the Warsaw District, similar to the Pabianice sorting camp.
