Treblinka extermination camp

It was on Polish soil in the German zone that the Nazi extermination camps would be built.

Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sibior, Belzec.

The geography was chosen deliberately.

Eastern Europe, far from the sensibilities of Western European populations, on land that Nazis controlled, whose population they had already designated as subhuman.

Is this an ethical choice? You know, teaching our students without having a deep conversation about what's going on in the world.

You know, as a Jewish, I'm the descendant of my grandfather was liberated from Auschwitz and my grandmother from Treblinka and Jewish.

I always as a kid was thinking about, you know, what did all the Germans who watched the train cars go by do? And the answer was they just kept about their daily life.

Right.

I mean, I'm just reading.

There's a wonderful Russian Jewish Ukrainian writer called Vasily Grossman, who was the first one to report on Treblinka.

And I'm telling you what the Nazis did in those camps has never happened before and will probably never happen again.

the awfulness the brutality the cunning horror of it you know but it doesn't have to be like that to meet the criteria right and as to israeli professors from hebrew university said there's no auschwitz in gaza but there's genocide in gaza

You got the Hoffman.

By mid-November 1942, following the massacre at Josefo, Lamaze, Surakamla, and elsewhere, and the liquidation of the ghettos in Midzerzyk, Lukow, Parzy, Radzin, and Kok, the men of Reserve Police Battalion 101 had participated in the outright execution of at least 6,500 Polish Jews and the deportation of at least 42,000 more to the gas chambers of Treblinka.

Still, their role in the mass murder campaign was not finished.

Once the towns and ghettos of the northern Loveland district had been cleared of Jews, Reserve Police Battalion 101 was assigned to track down and systematically eliminate all those who had escaped in previous roundups and were now in hiding.

I didn't want to go by memory and get it wrong.

But to Auschwitz and Treblinka.

And what was the other one? You'll have to take my word for it.

It's
