The watershed discovery of
Star of David tiles confirms the existence of Treblinka's gas chambers and
becomes the key to reconstructing the death camp's sinister workings. It confirms what survivors, eyewitnesses, and captured Nazi guards described. 900,000 perished in this camp, it was destroyed by the Nazi`s in 1943 in their attempt to hide the atrocities / war crimes.
The archaeologists who did the excavations
received permission from the polish authorities as well as from Jewish leaders (Rabbis).
This video is part of a program "Treblinka: Hitler's Killing
Machine", aired on the Smithsonian Channel last Saturday (03-29-2014).

| Shmouel Vilinberg 91 שמואל וילינברג |
Shmouel Vilinberg 91 is the last survivor from
Treblinka who lives in Tel Aviv with his wife Ada, also a holocaust survivor.
He has been to Treblinka 30 times since the war and last year met with Caroline Sturdy
Colls (forensic archeologist), who made the discovery, and always had a feeling
that she will find something, based on her commitment.
