FIRST-EVER EXCAVATION OF NAZI DEATH CAMP REVEALS HORRORS
March 29, 2014 - The first-ever archaeological excavations at the Nazi death camp Treblinka have revealed new mass graves, as well as the first physical evidence that this camp held gas chambers, where thousands of Jews died.
Presented in a new documentary, Treblinka: Hitler's Killing Machine, which will air Saturday (March 29) on the Smithsonian Channel, the excavations reveal that the Nazis weren't as adept at covering up their crimes as they believed when they razed the death camp in 1943. Brick walls and foundations from the gas chambers remain, as do massive amounts of human bone, including fragments now eroding out on the forested ground surface.
"For me, that was quite shocking," said project leader Caroline Sturdy Colls, a forensic archaeologist who normally works with police to find modern murder victims. "These artifacts are there, and these human remains are on the surface, and they're not being recorded or recovered."
Of all the atrocities of Hitler's Third Reich, Treblinka is one of the most mind-boggling. Historians estimate that about 900,000 Jews were murdered at this concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland over a mere 16 months.
The Nazis began deporting Jews, mostly from the ghettos of Warsaw and Radom, to Treblinka in July 1942. There were two camps. Treblinka I was a forced-labor camp where prisoners were made to manufacture gravel for the Nazi war effort. A little more than a mile (2 kilometers) away was Treblinka II, a horrendously efficient death camp.
Jews were sent to Treblinka II on trains, told they were simply going to a transit camp before being sent on to a new life in eastern Europe. The deception was elaborate: Nazis erected a fake train station in the remote spot, complete with false ticket-counter and clock.
"There was an orchestra set up near the reception area of the camp to play," Colls told Live Science. "It was run by a famous composer at the time, Artur Gold."
Gold, a Jewish violinist from Warsaw, was kept alive at Treblinka both to entertain the Nazi guards and to run the orchestra. He died at the camp in 1943.
The Jewish deportees were split into two groups, one of men and the other of women and children, and ordered to undress for "delousing." After handing over their valuables and documents, the victims were sent to the gas chambers, which were pumped full of exhaust from tank engines. Within about 20 minutes, some 5,000 people inside would be killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. Corpses were initially buried in mass graves, but later in 1942 and 1943, Jewish slave laborers were forced to reopen the graves and cremate the bodies on enormous pyres.
But because the Nazis razed Treblinka's death camp in 1943, little physical evidence of this genocide remained. What was known about Treblinka came from Nazi confessions and the eyewitness descriptions of very few survivors, most of whom were never allowed near the gas chambers.
But as an archaeologist, Colls knew that "the landscape could never be sanitized in that way," she said. She began assessing Treblinka as an archaeological site in 2007. Her emphasis was on using "non-invasive" archaeological methods, including geophysical surveys of the site and visual inspection.
"What we wanted to do at that stage was to asses what, if anything, survived below ground," Colls said.
Since that time, Colls has also led a lidar survey of the wooded site. Lidar is a method that uses lasers to measure the distance between the ground and the airplane-borne instrument. By scanning the ground with lidar, archaeologists can detect depressions and mounds that might indicate manmade structures. Lidar allows researchers to virtually strip away the vegetation that might obscure these features on the ground.
"What that revealed was the presence of previously unknown mass graves," Colls said.
The suspected mass grave sites were in Treblinka I, the labor camp. The story of the labor camp is less well-known than the story of the death camp, which is now marked by a memorial. But the labor camp was no less brutal, Colls said: Eyewitnesses report seeing men hacked to death alive, and beatings and murder were commonplace. The largest of the mass graves as revealed on lidar was 63 feet by 58 feet in size (19.2 by 17.6 meters).
Indeed, when the archaeology team began digging to confirm the lidar results, they uncovered shoes, ammunition, and bones - including bones with cut marks indicating that the victims had been stabbed or otherwise assaulted.
After digging three small test trenches to confirm each mass grave, Colls and her team reburied the remains. Jewish rabbinical law prohibits the disruption of a gravesite, so the aim was never to disinter the bodies. But placing the bones back in the grave was emotionally difficult, Colls said.
"I think it never actually crossed my mind that it would actually be me who would re-inter the remains," she said. "I think sometimes the hardest thing to do was to actually re-inter the remains, and to backfill the trenches over the gas chamber, for example, because it felt like you were almost putting a lid on it."
The gas chamber was the subject of the teams' second dig. There were two sets of gas chambers built at Treblinka, the first with a capacity of about 600 people, the second able to hold about 5,000.
Colls and her team conducted four excavations at Treblinka II. The first two revealed a strange find - a fossilized shark tooth, and sand. Evidently, the Nazis dumped sand from a nearby quarry over the remains of the death camp to disguise them.
The second two trenches, however, revealed a brick wall and foundation. The gas chambers were the only brick buildings in the camp, Colls said. The excavations also revealed orange tiles that matched eyewitness descriptions of the floor of the killing chambers. Chillingly, each tile was stamped with a Star of David, likely part of the Nazi subterfuge that the building was a Jewish-style bathhouse.
"Treblinka had never been looked at since the period after the war," Colls said. "And everybody had assumed that because the history books said it was destroyed, it was."
The excavations prove otherwise, she said. Colls is now working on an exhibition of the findings to go on display at Treblinka, as well as a book about the work. There are plans to go back and dig at an execution site near the labor camp to confirm the presence of a mass grave, she said, and there may be more work near the gas chambers.
The hope, Colls said, is to bring the atrocities to light, understand them, and hopefully prevent future genocides. To that end, she says, she channels the emotion of uncovering victims' remains to finding more answers.
"For me, it feels like the Holocaust happened yesterday," she said.

Photograph of soul leaving human body... Technique developed by a Russian scientist
In what appears to be a technique that verifies the existence of the a "soul" or lifeforce in living things, in this case humans. A Russian scientist, Konstantin Korotkov has developed a photographic technique called Kirlian photography which captures the soul as it leaves the human body, an event that's called astral disembodiment. As science fiction as it may sound, Konstantin has documented the passing of the soul into the infinite for both normal, calm as well as violent deaths.
Developed by Konstantin who is a director at the Research Institute of Physical Culture, St. Petersburg, the technique has also been endorsed as a medical technology by the Ministry of Health of Russia. It also used by more than 300 doctors around the world for stress monitoring progress of patients treated for diseases such as cancer.
According to Konstantin, at first the soul appears to depart from the navel and head and at the end it is the groin and the heart. For cases with violent deaths or unexpected deaths, the life force experiences and manifests a state of confusion in its "power settings" and returns to the body in the days following death. This has been attributed to a surplus or unused energy generated due to a change in the "power settings".
The technique that measures real time and stimulated radiation and amplified by the electromagnetic field is a more advanced version of the technology developed for measuring Semyon Kirlian aura. His observations confirm as proposed by Kirili that stimulated electro-photonic light around the tips of the fingers of humans contains coherent and comprehensive data/information of a person, both physically and psychologically. This means through this method energy changes in patients related to psychological ailments as well as stress and cancer related diseases can be monitored through their biofields.
The same effect is also present in food, water, natural environment as well as cosmetics. According to Konstantin, in a separate study, the negative effects of technologization in society and people were monitored and many of them were found to have varied or unstable auras.
Konstantin also speaks of the power and influence of people and changes in their biofields when the shift or focus their attention on any object.
Speaking on an optimistic note, Konstantin said it is good that Russia is taking the lead in this pioneering field, especially where in some schools, children are taught to use the energy not as a suspect but as a quanitifiable, metaphysical fact.

My eyesight has always been pretty good, but for a long time I did wear glasses. Several years ago I started practicing “healing my eyes” with some rather simple stuff that I was thinking about at the time. Relax your muscles around your eyes, close your eyes gently and look into the sun absorbing the light (also while relaxing the muscles), and carrying crystals that supposedly had a relationship to the quality of your eyesight. When I first stumbled upon this video I got super excited about it! The results that I've had have been noticeable to me, although as it has not been my primary focus, the results have waxed and waned. I've felt that when I spent a week or two putting conscious effort into it – I would see at least small results, if not somewhat like “jumps” in the quality of my sight. Upon watching the video, I found myself pleasantly surprised. This guy is a legitimate doctor, who has used a method from a “renegade optometrist” from about a hundred years ago who put together a solid formula for healing your eyes. The best part about it is that what he's saying really resonates with me, and I think even though there's a lot more to it, it sounds a lot like what I've been practicing. For example, as I wrote earlier when I wake up in the morning I like to go outside and just close my eyes gently and stare into the sun. It not only helps my eyes wake up, but my whole mind wakes up! Not to mention, my eyes lose their “morning grogginess” completely, and my eyesight seems to be really great, much better than had if I did not do it. Likewise, the whole “don't squint” thing is another practice, and it totally makes sense! Like, if you're whole face is squinting and stressed out all of the time, then that's constricting the way your face and head receives energy – both with light through our eyes, energy in our 3rd eyes, or smells through our noses. And if there's no more strain, then your brain, eyes, and facial muscles can all function with ease and clarity. Energy can flow smoothly, and it only makes sense that your eyes will naturally improve as well. For all of us with glasses, let's give these tips a practice and see how we do!
