I am doing a history project on the Treblinka extermination camp for school, and learnt about the zoo

enter image description here

Investigating further I found that the zoo contained at least four foxes, two peacocks and a roe deer[1]. The following photo is from Kurt Franz's photo album which was displayed in court during his trial

enter image description here

However the following image keeps appearing:

enter image description here

This site claims the photo is of Treblinka and that the image also appeared in Franz's album.

However on a more convincing note, the same site has a similar post with this reply suggesting that the photo is actually from the Buchenwald zoo.

Can anyone find a definite answer of wear that photo is from?

    There was no concentration camp in Treblinka. I think you mean death camp. And note that the website to which you link ("Further Glory") is written by a Holocaust denier and is full of deliberate misinformation. For details on the zoo at Treblinka, I would start with Yitzhak Arad's Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka: The Operation Reinhard Death Camps, and follow his references.

    @ShimonbM it was a labour camp to begin with but it changed to death camp halfway through the way, Thanks for telling me about the site

    Trablinka II, which is where the zoo was located was built from the start as an extermination camp and never was used as a labour camp.
