Treblinka is the name of a remote village in northeastern Poland. It is also the name of a Nazi death camp (Vernichtungslager) to which the Jews from Poland and other countries were sent after the German Nazis began to implement their plan to systematically exterminate European Jewry. It is now the site of a monument surrounded by 17,000 stones which simulate a graveyard. It is estimated that around 800,000 people were killed at this site.
