Timeline of Treblinka extermination camp
(Redirected from Timeline of events at Treblinka)
This article presents the timeline of events at Treblinka extermination camp during the most deadly[1][not specific enough to verify] phase of the Holocaust in World War II.[2][3][4][5] All deportations were from German occupied Poland, except where noted. In most cases the number of deportees are not exact figures, but rather approximations.
Days are listed in chronological order, nevertheless, a number of dates are missing from the below tables which means only that no waybills survived for those particular dates. It does not mean that transports were not arriving or were not processed from layover yards, when applicable.[2]
