Postage stamp issued to commemorate Treblinka

Object

Postage stamp issued to commemorate Treblinka killing center by the German Democratic Republic in 1963. This was the first stamp of a series issued annually by the DDR under the name Mahn- und Gedensksatte [Remembrance and Memorial Center] in honor of World War II (1939-1945). In July 1942, the Germans built Treblinka II, a killing center, near the village of Wolka Okraglik, Poland, about 50 miles north of Warsaw. Nearly 1 million Jews were killed at Treblinka II before it was closed in the fall of 1943. As Soviet troops moved into the area in late July 1944, camp authorities shot the remaining prisoners and evacuated the camp.

Object

Commemorative ribbon from Dachau issued in 1961 for the 16th National Congress in Liege, France. Dachau was the first concentration camp established by the Nazi government in 1933, originally for political prisoners. Over time, other groups were interned at Dachau, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma, homosexuals, repeat criminal offenders, and Jews. The SS used it as the training center for SS concentration camp guards and it had an active medical experiment program. Most of the prisoners were used a forced labor. Nearly 200,000 people were incarcerated at Dachau and nearly 20,000 inmates died there, although the exact number is not known. The camp was liberated by Amercain troops on April 29, 1945.
