the vast majority were Jews, a large proportion were from the Warsaw ghetto.
Treblinka was an extermination camp, not an ordinary concentration camp. The idea was to kill new arrivals as soon as possible. It served no other purpose. A very small number of new arrivals were made to help with the extermination process itself. In particular they had to dig mass graves and sort the belongings that the newly arrived and gassed victims had brought with them.
Treblinka II was an extermination camp and only about 40 people survived - that is, were still alive at the end of World War 2 in Europe. None of them is particularly famous.
Treblinka extermination camp was created in 1942.
The sole purpose of Treblinka was to kill Jews and gypsies as quickly as possible after their arrival. It was an extermination camp. A relatively small number of new arrivals were 'selected' for grave digging and sorting the possessions of gassed victims. For these reasons the camp was small, and the number of prisoners there was small, too - probably not more than about 1,500 at any time.
Dachau and Auschwitz were two well-known concentration camps of the many that Nazi Germany opened. Dachau was ostensibly a detention camp for dissenters and "political prisoners", but many, many people died there. Auschwitz was an outright death camp, where people were sent to be killed by "annihilation by work", or by being sent directly to the gas chambers.
mainly Jews.
310,000+ Jews were sent to Treblinka. The time period was between less than 3 months.
An estimated 850,000+ were Holocaust victims at Treblinka. It had the highest death toll after Auschwitz.

The most common way people died in Treblinka was by Gassing but not by Zyklon B but instead by Carbon Monoxide.
