in all concentration camps, the victims were treated like filthy, pointless, worthless animals
The victims in Treblinka were subjected to inhumane treatment. They were stripped of their belongings and clothes upon arrival, with their heads shaved. They were then forced into gas chambers and killed in large numbers using carbon monoxide. The bodies were later burned in open-air cremation pits.

It was a concentration camp (not an extermination camp) and had more survivors. Apparently some prisoners from this camp were drafted for various tasks at Treblinka II, but otherwise the two camps were distinct and separate.
