Description
View of the Sobibor camp gate in the spring of 1943. Jews deported to the Sobibor killing center were driven through the gate into the camp on foot, by truck or horse-drawn cart. The train track led through a separate entrance to the right onto the site. Pine branches were braided into the fence to make it difficult to see in from the outside.
This image comes from an album and collection kept by Johann Niemann (External website), who became deputy commandant of the Sobibor killing center after holding positions in the "euthanasia" program and in other camps.
