Convict labor camp

Air photo taken on May 15th, 1944

 
The Convict Labor Camp which held thousands of inmates in 1944. The buildings had concrete foundation floors which were not removed after 1945 and still existed in 1993. In contrast, at the alleged Treblinka camp located 1km (.6 miles) north, air photos show no scars from previous concrete building foundations or 'gas chamber' floors. 

 

Treeblinka bodies

Photo taken in 1945

 
After the Soviets entered the Convict Labor Camp, they dug up about 10 bodies, buried on the edge of the forest just south of the camp, who had either died of disease, natural causes, or been executed for crimes. They found only 10 bodies of the 800,000 they accused the Germans of murdering, and they did not invite journalists, or doctors from neutral countries, to inspect the bodies, or attempt to determine causes of death, the way the Germans had at Katyn. If the Soviets had uncovered any evidence of German mass murders, they would have quickly publicized it to counteract publicity about Katyn, but this did not occur.
