Treblinka I was a forced labor camp established by Nazi Germany during World War II, located in occupied Poland. It operated from 1941 to 1944 and primarily held Jewish prisoners, along with other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazis. The camp was part of the broader system of concentration camps used to exploit labor and suppress resistance.
Unlike its more infamous counterpart, Treblinka II, which was an extermination camp, Treblinka I focused on forced labor. Prisoners were subjected to harsh conditions, working in nearby gravel pits and other labor-intensive tasks. The camp was liberated by Soviet forces in 1944, revealing the extent of the atrocities committed there.
