46 Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf: Treblinka<br />

a labor camp as well as a transit camp for Jews resettled to the east; 109 Prof.<br />

Dr. Robert Faurisson also supports the transit camp thesis. 110<br />

Finally, the American historian Mark Weber, together with the U.S. lawyer<br />

Andrew Allen, wrote an excellent article about Treblinka in 1992, in which<br />

the two authors summarized all known arguments to that date against the ‘extermination<br />

camp’ thesis, introduced new viewpoints, and wrote concerning<br />

the actual nature of the camp: 111<br />

“If Treblinka was not an extermination center, what was it? […] the<br />

balance of evidence indicates that Treblinka II – along with Belzec and<br />

Sobibor – was a transit camp, where Jewish deportees were stripped of<br />

their property and valuables before being transferred eastwards into German-occupied<br />

Soviet territories.”<br />

Since Treblinka was much too small to be able to accommodate the large<br />

number of Jews deported there at the same time, the transit camp thesis is, in<br />

fact, the single plausible alternative to the conventional picture of the extermination<br />

camp. Tertium non datur – there is no third possibility.<br />
