Talk:Treblinka extermination camp

WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Antisemitism in Poland#Article sourcing expectations (9 May 2021):

The Arbitration Committee advises that administrators may impose "reliable-source consensus required" as a discretionary sanction on all articles on the topic of Polish history during World War II (1933-45), including the Holocaust in Poland. On articles where "reliable-source consensus required" is in effect, when a source that is not a high quality source (an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journals, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution) is added and subsequently challenged by reversion, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard.

The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, which is a contentious topic. Please consult the procedures and edit carefully.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Treblinka extermination camp article.

Lyrics to the Treblinka Song

As the page is protected I cannot add these lyrics to the article myself, so I post them here so that anyone with the relevant priviliges may consider adding them themselves:

LYRICS (GERMAN):

Fest im Schritt und Tritt
und der Blick geradeaus,
immer fest und fest
in die Welt geschaut,
marschieren Kommandos zur Arbeit!
Für uns gibt’s heute nur Treblinka,
das unser Schicksal ist.
Drum haben wir uns auf Treblinka
eingestellt in kurzer Frist.
Wir kennen nur das Wort der Kommandanten,
und nur Gehörsamkeit und Pflicht.
Wir wollen weiter, weiter leisten,
bis dass das kleine Glück
uns einmal winkt – Hurra!

LYRICS (ENGLISH):

Firm in every step
and the view straight ahead
always tight and tight
looked into the world
marching commandos to work!
For us today there is only Treblinka,
that is our destiny.
That's why we're on Treblinka
set in a short period of time.
We only know the word of the commanders,
and only obedience and duty.
We want to go on, go on,
until that little happiness
waving at us once – hooray!

Erwin Labert's description

Erwin Lambert is described as "euthanasia expert." I think it is more correct and appropriate to describe him as "expert for the construction of gas chambers," (with quotes and citation) as he is described here: Erwin Lambert#cite ref-Friedlander 2-2.
