> I don't mean to be down-voted so I ask honestly, how can we accept Treblinka as an extermination camp in the face of all the Jewish testimonies attesting to it being a transit camp?

There were two "Treblinkas", and both of them changed over time.

How can we consider it an extermination camp? Due to the 800,000 bodies that were exhumed, and the testimony of the gas-chamber murderers.

That body of evidence should outweigh the survivorship bias of those few who were in-fact transited through it at specific times.
