As the page is protected I cannot add these lyrics to the article myself, so I post them here so that anyone with the relevant priviliges may consider adding them themselves:

LYRICS (GERMAN):

Fest im Schritt und Tritt
und der Blick geradeaus,
immer fest und fest
in die Welt geschaut,
marschieren Kommandos zur Arbeit!
Für uns gibt’s heute nur Treblinka,
das unser Schicksal ist.
Drum haben wir uns auf Treblinka
eingestellt in kurzer Frist.
Wir kennen nur das Wort der Kommandanten,
und nur Gehörsamkeit und Pflicht.
Wir wollen weiter, weiter leisten,
bis dass das kleine Glück
uns einmal winkt – Hurra!

LYRICS (ENGLISH):

Firm in every step
and the view straight ahead
always tight and tight
looked into the world
marching commandos to work!
For us today there is only Treblinka,
that is our destiny.
That's why we're on Treblinka
set in a short period of time.
We only know the word of the commanders,
and only obedience and duty.
We want to go on, go on,
until that little happiness
waving at us once – hooray!

Under the cremation pits heading it states that

It is constructed from melted basalt and has a concrete foundation. It is a symbolic grave,[130] as the Nazis spread the actual human ashes, mixed with sand, over an area of 2.2 ha (5.4 acres)[14].

I can't seem to find the original statement about where the ashes were spread in there. I don't know if this is a change to the website, or if I'm just bad at checking. 130.226.157.34 (talk) 08:02, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe an archaeologist could verify the ashes from sand in their lab Sample the 5 acre site 2600:6C64:477F:6C56:21E5:944D:A0B3:FD5D (talk) 19:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
