Treblinka Vernichtungslager was designed purely for extermination of people, one of four secret camps of Operation Reinhard, the other three being Bełżec, Sobibór and Majdanek.
Kulmhof (Chełmno) extermination camp was originally the pilot project for the development of the other camps.
Operation Reinhard was overseen by SS-Obergruppenführer Odilo Globocnik in occupied Poland as Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler's deputy.
Operation Reinhard camps reported directly to Himmler's office, RSHA, in Berlin. Himmler kept the control of the program close to him, delegating the work to Globocnik.
Operation Reinhard used the euthanasia program (Aktion T4) for site selection, construction and trained personnel.

Treblinka was located 100 km (62 miles) northeast of the Polish capital Warszawa, near the village of Małkinia Górna, 2.5 km (1.5 miles) from the Treblinka railroad station.
The camp was organized in two subdivisions: Treblinka I and Treblinka II.

On August 23, 1942, 11,700 Siedlce Jews were deported to Treblinka, 2,000 others were shot at the Jewish cemetary, and some were deported to forced labour camps.
