The siding at Treblinka railway station. Scenes of Dantesque horror.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

In this video I referred to the commandant as Eberle - I should have said Eberl!

[@ganndeber1621]

Another well presented and informative video. These events must never be forgotten.

Thank you!

The renowned author and journalist Vasily Grossman wrote a book called 'The Hell of Treblinka'. Sadly, the book is out of print and not readily available. I was able to find a .pdf file that reproduced part of a chapter from this book. The writing is quite extraordinary. Grossman is able to put you, the reader, in the position of one of the unfortunates who has just disembarked from the carriage and onto the platform at Treblinka. As you read, the sensation of being one of those people is absolutely present. It is very creepy and disturbing and a testament to Grossman's skill as a writer.

[@jimhoade9265]

Good stuff as always Alan. What always strikes me is how small the sites are; considering the horrors that went on you'd expect something larger.

[@ewlke]

Claude Lanzmann's "Shoah" contains footage of the station and tracks in the 70s/80s, which were still in use back then.

[@bold810]

I will never forget the night PBS showed "Shoah". 🥺

[@dancroitoru364]

Yet the content creator is "slightly" (lol) irritated by Lanzmann's "bias". He stands on the grass and the soil still there where the past (the "bias") protrudes the present yet he thinks that with some "neutral" blah blah like "polish people were under death sentence if they helped a jew" he can be "bias free". sad!

Your dedication to documenting this part of history is outstanding. it is beyond human comprehension.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

Thank you!

[@drayb5566]

I want to thank you for these videos. Your on-site coverage of these places and the events that took place need to be remembered by all as to the potential evil that could befall any of us with a simple change in government or social tolerance norms. Again, thank you.

great footage Allen not many show the town in such way great capture

Thank you!

you do good work Allen by you being at camps I am able to put event cause together to get a correct understand of what took place

@@HistoryonKZbin chelmno camps been finished big mystery at that camp I seen a video but narrator had some info wrong now maybe if you ever visit true story be told of the horrors at this make shift camps

[@johnwright291]

Lanzmanns interview of franz suchomel is available on KZbin. If I'm not mistaken I think suchomel lived quite close to treblinka. Alan I have seen photos of treblinka taken during the war and I believe some of the buildings pictured are still standing. I just love Then and Now shots of historical places.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

John, some of the buildings you see here are in Shoah and were standing during WW2.

[@rcrinsea]

I really love seeing these videos showing the actual locations where events happened. For those of us who know Claude Lanzmann's Shoah, your commwnts are also very belpful and make us think, and it also is very good to compare the locations as they exist today to even when they existed in the late 70's when Shoah was filmed. Very, veey interesting!

[@zingwilder9989]

Tranquil now, but not then.

[@glenncheatham1320]

Incredible to see a place that looks so…..average now, but think of the horror that took place there not so long ago.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

I will be uploading more over the next few months!

[@renee1961]

Hello again, Alan. I like to think you're enjoying your night! Thank You!!

I am parked in a really nice place with a view of the Nogat river in northern Poland, Renee. It is very pleasant!

Love your videos! Thank you.

[@zamiadams4343]

Another great episode of this amazing channel, we will never forget what happened.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

Thank you!

[@pingdis]

Thanks for this. It it is quite interesting. I wish you had shown the description plaques so we could have read them, and told us more about the section of raised railroad cross ties that has been constructed.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

I have done that in a different video, either reading them or translating them!

[@ColinH1973]

The monument shown at the beginning was not there on either of the occasions when I was there.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

It was put up in 2020 Colin. I had not been there since 2010 so it was new for me too.

[@boxwoodgreen]

Google Earth Streets now shows a more current look of the former Treblinka Train Station site. There are multiple embedded pictures some of which allow close views of the information panels and a small rising ramp with cement blocks resembling railroad ties.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

There will be a video coming up showing all of this in more detail.

[@krfusa]

Is the new (2020) memorial at which you filmed, the actual site of the small brick "station", the familiar picture of which, you used to introduce this video? Or...was that bldg at Treblinka II itself, (approx 4 km farther along a rail spur) and demolished with the liquidation of the camp? I wish to pinpoint that specific structure. You pointed toward a tree covered area across the roadway from the memorial and indicated that a station / the station behind the trees is a home now(?). Also, is the route of the rail spur constructed between Treblinka village (station) and the camp marked, or visible, in any way? Thank you for your informative work.

[@HistoryonYouTube]

I have filmed the actual station, two of the three buildings are still there. The brick 'station', I think is a signals box. The route of the rail line to Treblinka is clear as it is where the road is now - I videoed it - as is where the spur was (also videoed). It will take a while to get all of this uploaded!

@christopherfritz3840 I spoke to everyone I met. That is how research is done!

maybe it was a big mistake hitler was a graphics designer after all maybe what he meant is that he wanted folks to learn the subsurface scatering effect its a very difficult thing to master especially if youre doing medical stuff its used for all the wet surfaces saliva etc. ss is very hard to learn

Why do we need to go back 82 years to talk about genocide? We really only need to go back two or three hours as there is an active genocide being carried out at the moment by European fascist in an occupied part of the Middle East . It seems that every time as European fascist commit another horrific war crime a film like this shows up to take our attention from the genocide that’s going on today

[@HistoryonYouTube]

A rather pathetic trolling comment which does however the workings of the conspiracist mind. You claim that 'there is an active genocide being carried out at the moment by European fascist in an occupied part of the Middle East' but I bet you cannot name who that European fascist is nor do you know what genocide means.

[@nonomnismoriar9051]

by the same token even if we grant Israel is commiting genocide, before the current 2023/24 war can we not say that the ceaseless Palestinian crying took attention of the Muslim world, the far left and many others from actual genocides like Rwanda (coincided with 1st intifada if I recall) or the Yazidi genocide in 2014, and myriad other horrific atrocities all over the world that were smothered in the news cycle and policy making of dozens of states during the cold war and beyond?

[@HistoryonYouTube]

@@nonomnismoriar9051 Even the suggestion that Israel is committing genocide is absurd. There are more than six times more Palestinians today than there were in 1947. If Israel is committing genocide then it is not very good at it.

[@nonomnismoriar9051]

@@HistoryonKZbin Indeed. The suggestion was totally absurd before oct. 8th 2023. Its become more understandable since then since it is sadly undeniable that Israel led by fanatics and feeling utter impunity is indeed waging a indiscriminate and horrible war (the US did far better in brutal urban sieges like Mosul) in response to a horrible war crime itself by a genocidal terrorist organization, but its not genocide. If it were they wouldnt leave the Palestinians in the WB most of whom are indistinguishable politically ethnically and religiously from those of Gaza albeit slightly less radical on average (plus a substantial proportion of Arabs inside the pre 1967 borders who share these features) mostly alone. Indeed inside Israel not a single pogrom has occured against Arabs or Muslims since 2023.
