The Treblinka memorial is a memorial complex located at the site of the former German Nazi Treblinka extermination camp, dedicated to approximately 800,000 Jews from Poland and other European countries killed there between 1942 and 1943.
Designed by sculptor Franciszek Duszeńko and architect Adam Haupt, the memorial's construction faced delays due to funding shortages and legal documentation issues, taking nearly nine years to complete. It was officially unveiled on 10 May 1964. The memorial is widely regarded as an outstanding example of monumental architecture and one of the most poignant commemorations of the Holocaust in Poland and globally.
