(It was the first major trial of its kind in Western Europe and the first time that the media heard about the internal working of the camps). Kramer, along with 11 others, was hanged at Hameln in December 1945.

The best known Commandant of Treblinka was Franz Stangl. He escaped to Latin America after World War 2 and lived and worked under his real name in Brazil. He was also registered with the Austrian consulate in Sao Paulo - again under his real name. It has been suggested that he was protected by someone at the consulate as well as Nazi friends in Brazil ... He was arrested in 1967 and extradited to West Germany for trial.
