    Default Camp Informants / collaborators ...

    Was watching a program the other night about Treblinka .. one of the surviours who ended up escaping from the camp says some of those would turn informant provide information to the Camp guards of escapes .


    Curious Q How were they viewed upon by fellow surviours were they black listed , were they allowed to settle in Israel after the War ?

    Probably suffered the same fate as the French collaborators. These guys were certainly treated as the lowest of the low.

    From recollection most of them didn't live very much longer than the ordinary camp victims. They tended to be disposed of after a few months of use.

    Kapos and other Nazi collaborators that survived the war settled in Israel and elsewhere.

    Some survivors sought to extract justice against known colalborators. A very famous example is:
