The authors of this project – the Foundation “Memory of Treblinka” and the Jewish Historical Institut (with the support of Dutch Jewish Humanitarian and Museum Treblinka-The Nazi German Extermination and Forced Labour Camp 1941-1944) – wish not only to tell the story of the camp, but also to bring back the memory of perished communities. Through memoirs of Samuel Willenberg and other witnesses is shown the tragedy of people who lost not only their lives, but even their names. With the words of Halina Birenbaum, the authors ask you to ”go to Treblinka- do not leave Them alone”..
