Treblinka extermination camp was created in 1942.
On 24 July 1944 the Soviets reached Lublin in Poland and found the destroyed, evacuated and burned out remains of Majdanek. In August they reached the abandoned camps at Sobibor and Treblinka.

It is a misconception that Jews were the only ones in the camps. They did make up a large percentage of the population, but several other groups were imprisoned there as well. Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, handicapped, and even those that were just not liked for political reasons were taken away. As far as when these people were released depended on what camp they were in, and when forces came in to liberate them. Not all camps that were closed were liberated. That usually meant that all the prisoners were killed or moved to another camp. Even at the camps that were liberated, there were often thousands of deaths.
