The document I posted says "final destination, Treblinka (the camp)". The other document says a stop over at Malkinia on the way to Treblinka. So what was "Treblinka (the camp)"? A heretofore unknown super high traffic (servicing 5000 per day) transit camp ? Something doesn't add up here.PrudentRegret wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 7:29 pm Documents also suggest a transit camp at Malkinia, which was a major railroad junction, i.e.
I do not think the "Malkinia transit camp" is a reference to T-II.On December 10, 1942, the transport that had left the Malkinia transit camp on December 10, 1942, reached KL Auschwitz with 2,500 Jews and undesirable elements.
Transport documents also show these Jewish transports stopping for i.e. 20 minutes at Malkinia. Perhaps references to the destination "Treblinka" are a reference to a transit camp at Malkinia or facilities in the immediate area. Treblinka station is very close to Malkinia. It makes perfect sense for a major junction at the border like Malkinia to have transit facilities in the immediate vacinity. What doesn't make sense is the undocumented shunting operation to this small camp a kilometer away from what is documented as the actual destination of these trains.
What these documents do not indicate though is the shunting operation from Treblinka to the T-II camp. Documents show the trains stopping at the train stations, not the T-II camp.
T-II is over 3 kilometers from the documented destination of those transports- Treblinka station. Treblinka station is closer to the Malkinia junction than it is to the T-II camp.
