One of the officers approaches the people who got off the train and commands: "Familyless carpenters and carpenters, step forward!" Several dozen people come out of the crowd. The officer builds them into a column and leads them in the direction of the barracks. Tens of hundreds of people remaining on the platform in two hours will be dead.
Sobibor - Nazi "death factory", daily destroying several thousand Jews. He stood out against other similar camps. Most of them exploited prisoners as free labor. The task of Sobibor was precisely the physical destruction of prisoners.
