Let’s now move to the Umschlagplatz, the place from where trains departed for the Treblinka extermination camp. The deportation of the Warsaw ghetto inhabitants began on 22nd July 1942. Residents of streets, designated by the Germans, were first subjected to a selection process, leaving only those who were fit for work. The others were herded to the Umschlagplatz, where they were loaded into cattle wagons and deported to Treblinka. Several thousand people were deported this way every day.
