Page "Treblinka extermination camp" Paragraph 42

The newly arrived Jews, particularly the men, were beaten incessantly with whips in order to drive them towards the gas chambers.

According to testimony of SS officers, men were always gassed first from the transports, while women and children waited outside the gas chamber for their turn.

During this time, the women and children could hear the sounds of suffering from inside the gas chamber, and they became well aware of the fate that awaited them, which naturally caused panic and distress, and involuntary defecation.
