Author(s) Sophie Caplan AbstractBook Review: Treblinka was one of a handful of Nazi extermination camps which were even worst than Auschwitz because their one and only purpose was to serve as killing places for Jews. Together with Chelmo, Belzec and Sobibor, Treblinka was set up uniquely to facilitate the 'technology of industrial death') by gassing, when the El 11-satzgruppen method of sending specially trained shooting squads in the rear of the German armies had proved too slow and too public. Their establishment was known under the codename of 'Operation Reinhardt' to totally rid Eastern Europe of its Jewish inhabitants.
