PRESENTATION OUTLINE

SOBIBOR

THE DEATH CAMP

My question: What is inside sobibor and where did prisoners go?

SOBIBOR WAS COMPOSED OF 3 MAIN AREAS

  • Reception
  • Administration
  • Killing area

The reception area is where
Jews are unloaded from train cars and striped of all belongings

Administration is where Nazi officials and guards are housed

FinAlly, the killing area is where prisoners are lead if they are unable to work.

PRISONERS ARE SEPARATED INTO TWO GROUPS

  • People that are fit for labor
  • Others that are sent to the gas chambers

Those unable to work are sent down the main passage, nicknamed "the tube",

They are told that it leads to the "showers".
In reality, they are chambers that are filled with Carbon monoxide when they enter

Along the topic of the gas chambers, originally there were only 3. It progressed to 6 as more people were killed

The people that were okay for labor were sent to some of the many barracks scattered across the camp in all 3 areas

Sobibor itself is connected to a railway that can unload around 20 cars at at a time
