- "One of Treblinka's first commandants was Theodor von Eupen, an expert
- horseman who found diversion in riding about on a pedigree steed,
- terrifying prisoners by maiming them or even trampling them to death. When
- the first thirty Jewish children arrived from Warsaw, he assigned to a
- university-educated Ukrainian guard the task of axing the children to
- death. It should be noted that, in the climate of the later Cold War, the
- murderer escaped censure and eventually returned to the teaching
- profession.
-
- There was no slackening of technical efficiency when Von Eupen was
- succeeded by Odilo Globocnik, a veteran killer who had set up the camps in
- Maidanek and Sobibor and proved his mettle in the liquidation of the
- Bialystok ghetto. He accelerated the death process in Treblinka by
- channeling the gas fumes of diesel engines directly into the chambers. He
- saw to it that soothing music was supplied, usually by other hapless Jewish
- prisoners, for the march to the gas chambers, `Ascension' and `The Way to
- Heaven' being amonth the favorite selections. Himmler found Globocnik so
- talented and entertaining that he promoted him to the commandant's post at
- Belzec."
