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.

∙ 12y agoTreblinka was specifically an extermination camp, which meant that very few Jews actually did any work there, most Jews who were sent there were immediately killed on arrival. However, the Jews who did do work at Treblinka were mostly employed to do manual labour, especially construction work.
