The first concentration camp that comes to mind when you think of the Holocaust is Auschwitz. This may probably be due to the fact that it was the largest of the camps with the greatest potential for murder and forced labor. Auschwitz was used as a concentration, death and forced labor camp in three parts from 1941 to 1945. On the other hand, Treblinka was only around for 14 months. It was an extermination camp that contained specially designed gas chambers with the capacity to kill thousands of people. (Berenbaum, 120) However, in the short period of his activity, he was responsible for the deaths of approximately 870,000-925,000 Jewish prisoners. There were numerous other concentration and extermination camps that need to be taken into account and which were just as cruel to prisoners as Auschwitz; Treblinka is just one. Comparing Auschwitz and Treblinka, you realize how horrible it was to be a prisoner in any concentration camp in the 1940s. Treblinka is the second largest German death camp in all of wartime history and can take credit for the greatest number of murders in the shortest possible time. It is known as the “forgotten camp” because immediately after the war, the Nazis tried to hide their tracks in the hope that no one would find the destroyed evidence that was there. Treblinka should be remembered together with Auschwitz, otherwise the countless lives lost there will also be forgotten. Auschwitz-The Final Solution was the Nazi plan in Germany during World War II to get rid of Europe's Jewish population through genocide. In January 1942 this policy was established and planned at the Wannsee Conference. The result was the murder of two-thirds of Europe's Jews, better known as the Holocaust. Both... half the paper... and there were other fields just as bad, if not worse. If you look deeper into the history of Treblinka and recognize what happened there, you realize how important it actually was. Its history shows that the camp demolished thousands of people and left the few survivors with terrifying memories. As an extermination camp that killed 99% of its residents in the first two hours, Treblinka should be known as a powerful and evil place where countless people were killed. It should be remembered and be as prevalent in today's society as Auschwitz is, showing the effect it had on Jewish prisoners, as well as other minorities, throughout the 1940s. If society truly studied the other camps during the Holocaust and what happened in those camps, they would not have the perception that Auschwitz was the worst institution just because it was the most populated..
