Railcar at Museum
(cont'd from preceding page)
The Museum’s railcar is dis
tinguished by a guard cabin that
extends 30 inches above the roof
of the car at the rear. When it
was used by the Nazis, an SS
guard was stationed in the cabin,
armed with a machine gun, on
the lookout for anyone trying to
jump from the train. The guard
cabin generally appeared in
every fifth car of the train.
During the Holocaust, the
Nazis transported millions of
people, an overwhelming major
ity of them Jewish, to concen
tration camps and killing centers
through Nazi-occupied Europe.
Often the victims traveled for
days without fresh air, water,
food or sanitation and many of
them died en route.
Usually 100 more people
would be crowded into a win-
dowless car. A train often con
sisted of 60 cars, which together
carried at least 6,000 people.
When the Warsaw Ghetto was
liquidated in 1942-43, sometimes
as many as 12,000 people a day
from Warsaw alone were taken
to Treblinka on two trains.
Thus, a railcar such as the one
donated to the Museum could
carry between 100 to 200 people
a day to their deaths.
