On May 10, 1964, after years of preparations, the official, ceremonial unveiling of the monument commemorating the victims of German repression and crimes at the Treblinka I Labor Camp took place. The author of the monument was Franciszek Strynkiewicz – a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, who was the general designer of the entire spatial and architectural layout at the Treblinka Memorial Site. The monument in the clearing at the Execution Site refers to the execution wall in its appearance. It is built of blocks, the shape of which resembles drops of spilled blood. A recurring motif are four straight, vertical lines carved in the stone. They can be interpreted in various ways, e.g. as bullet marks or prisoner striped uniforms, although prisoners in the Treblinka I Penal Labor Camp did not wear striped uniforms. In front of the monument lies a slab with the inscription: "In tribute to the murdered". The entire monument is incorporated into the dark wall of the forest surrounding the clearing. On the path behind the monument there is a mound topped with a cross, which was built by school children in September 1947. It contains the bones of victims, which were collected at that time on the grounds of the former camp. This is the first commemoration of the Treblinka I Penal Labor Camp. The mass graves located in the forest surrounding the clearing with the main monument have been marked with concrete crosses. Individual crosses deep in the forest also mark other graves located there.
