Revealing the hidden graves of the Holocaust

Groundbreaking research to be published in Journal of Conflict Archaeology

In the first survey of the WWII Treblinka death camp in Poland that used tools to see below the ground's surface, forensic archaeologist Caroline Sturdy Colls found a number of pits that confirm the existence of mass graves at the site...

"Some may be the result of post-war looting, prompted by myths of buried Jewish gold, but several larger pits were recorded in areas suggested by witnesses as the locations of mass graves and cremation sites..."

The findings of the survey are to be published in Volume 7 (2012) Issue 2 of the Journal of Conflict Archaeology. Read an article on this significant discovery in the BBC News Magazine.
