Franz Suchomel and the Treblinka Death Camp

Franz Suchomel

When he got there

The Camp

Franz Suchomel was a surviving (now dead) SS officer that worked at the Treblinka Death Camp.

When Franz described the camp when he was arriving, he said that it stank for miles.

Mothers were killing their daughters and committing suicide. And bodies were piled up all around gas chambers.

The camp itself is located 50 miles northeast of Warsaw, Poland.

In the camp, six gas chambers exterminated Jews and other prisoners and bodies piled into mass graves.

In the end

Before the camp

When he was transferred to the camp, Franz says the officers didn't know people were being killed there. And that they were told it was a resettlement program for the Jews.

Before Franz was transferred to the Treblinka Death Camp, he was a tailor in the German Army and a photographer at the Hadamar Euthanasia Centre.

After the Holocaust, Franz was captured and sentenced to prison for 6 years, for the murder of 700,000 people.
