Treblinka Museum Awards Archaeologist For Investigating Crimes At Nazi Extermination Camp

An archaeologist has been honoured for her ongoing work investigating crimes at a Nazi extermination camp.

Professor Caroline Sturdy Colls, of Staffordshire University, was presented with the award for her work at Treblinka in Poland.

The medal is the second one to be awarded by the Treblinka Museum.

The museum thanked her for “extensive efforts to honour the victims who were murdered in the camps and to educate future generations.”

More than 800,000 European Jews, Poles, gypsies and political prisoners were killed at the site, between 1942 and 1943.
