The Nazis murdered at least 167,000 Jews in the small extermination center of Sobibor located today in far-eastern Poland on the border with Ukraine.

This album contains never before seen images of Sobibor and the lives of its SS, but also its prisoners. Martin Cüppers joins the podcast to talk about the history of the camp and what these photos tell us about its history.
All of the photographs mentioned in the podcast can be found online here courtesy of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
