The revolt saw only a few Jews manage to escape the extermination camp, with only 70 surviving until the end of the war. But it crippled the camp in its final months.
August 2, 2022 marks 79 years since the Jewish inmates of the Nazi concentration camp Treblinka in occupied Poland staged a revolt against their captors in a bid to escape.
The Treblinka uprising was preceded by considerable preparations in secrecy over the course of several months, all eventually culminating in a bold uprising that saw the escape of the camp's few survivors.
The escape also came in what would be the final months in which Treblinka would be operating during the Holocaust and helped cripple the camp's functioning.
