What kind of work did people do in treblinka?

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.

How many Jews were transported to Treblinka?

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.
