This quote was posted at CODOH a short while ago. Someone might pick this up and give Iris an answer. It is relevant due to the misconceptions.
This post is slightly different to the one above to the specific mentioning of "east".
I have mentioned that the rail transport schedules known as Fahrplananordnung (Fplo) stopped at the precise locations of the various labour camps along the route. The stops at those locations were for extended periods of time, on average an hour. The final destination was Treblinka station which serviced Treblinka 1 and II. There is no evidence to show that all of the passengers who boarded the train ended up at the final destination. The stops at the labour camps suggests that the majority disembarked on the journey.
Fplo 548 is reproduced below.
Ab 6, August 1942 verkehrt bis auf weiteres taglich noch ein sonderzug mit umsiedlern von Warshau Danz bf nach Treblinka und leerzug zuruck wie folgt.
From August 6, 1942, until further notice, a special train with those relocated will run daily from Warsaw Danz station to Treblinka and return empty as follows.
- Warschau Danz Bahnhof...Warsaw Danzinger railway station
- Warschau Marki...stopped 17 mins
- Tluszcz...stopped 27 mins Tluszcz is a major railway junction
- Malkinia...Stopped 19 mins Malinia is a major railway junction
- Treblinka...7 minute journey time from Malkinia
It is noted that the train was depleted of those to be relocated, which could have happened at the Tluszcz or Malkinia railway junctions, the last few being Treblinka. This transport consisted of 58 freight cars and two third class cars.
It was common for German soldiers to use freight cars for transports. This is depicted in the image below.
It is only an assumption that only those to be relocated were Jews as it is that all ended up at the final destination. This is what Holocaust Supremacists like Raul Hilberg and Dr Terry wish the masses to believe.
While some have hypothesised that Treblinka was a mere transit camp as "Eric Hunt" has done, the reality is that all camps had a transit camp function. There was a transit camp at Malkinia.
There is no need for the Treblinka Jews to be sent east. It is most likely that TII was the judenlager of TI. Jews could not by law be allowed to intermingle with other inmates.
There is evidence of Jews being sent further East than Malkinia, to Bobruysk. On 28-29 May 1942 the Jews arrived at the camp in two separate transports. The first group was made up of approximately 1,000 Jewish males from the Warsaw ghetto, including about 150 youth between the ages of 13 and 16. The second transport left the Warsaw ghetto at the end of July 1942 to arrive in Bobruysk; this was after Treblinka II was allegedly murdering Jews. These boys and men went to the Waldlager, that was located inside a huge SS military base, the
Nachschubkommandantur der Waffen-SS und Polizei Russland Mitte Bobruisk โ Waldlager Kisseliwitschi.
The following people provided testimony of their experiences at Bobruysk:
- Shraga Zisholtz
- Shlomo Lubinitzki
- Shlomo Wachsman
- Avraham Fabishevitz
- Moshe Mane
- Yitzhak Wasserstein
- Melech Leizerowicz
In mid-September 1943 the Jewish camp was liquidated, although the military camp continued to function, mainly as a base for actions against the local partisan fighters. The Jews were transferred first to Minsk and then, about a week later, to the Lublin District, where they were dispersed among several konzentrationslager.
In addition to the deportation to Bobruysk in July 1942 500 Jews from the Warsaw ghetto were deported to the headquarters of the Luftwaffe in Smolensk.
There were at least 123 zwangarbeitslager in the East including military camps for Jews such as Bobruysk and the one in Smolensk. V. Markei the Belarus Minister of Foreign affairs has stated that there were over 200 konzentrationslager fรผr Juden. in Belarus alone.
