Exact location gas chambers building Sobibór found

Israelian, Polish and Dutch argeologists have found the exact location (remains and foundation) of the Sobibór gas-chamber building after more then 70 years. It's very near the ash-hill and if i look right at the foto, at the location of the famous statue of the mother and child. The building was divided in four rooms. At the site they found jewelry and golden teeth.
Also were found remains of the platform and the water-well at Lager 1.

Foto's I've made in 2007 at visiting this horrible place.

An earlier discovery at the same [the other] site - the Star of David tiles:


Unfortunately, the star is not Jewish. It's the company logo of the well-known in pre-war Poland the ”Dziewulski and Lange” Ceramic Works Joint Stock Company.
It was a Polish company, the logo was a star with a dot inside, and the letters D and L, as shown below:

WM, the video you've attached is in fact of Treblinka and not Sobior.

Exactly, maybe that teach me not to multitask, but I doubt it...

Here you can find a newsletter in which Ivar Schute (Dutch argeologists) describes his personal experience of working there:

http://www.stichtingsobibor.nl/wp-conte ... R-2013.pdf

He describes the work at camp 3 was sometimes emotional for him. At the north side of camp 3 a lot of unburned remains, often from children, were found. He notices some of the skeletons have clothes on them.

I recently saw a documentary on the History Channel called "Enginnering Evil" where they talked about the Sobibor archeological digs and showed a piece they said was an actual shower head from the gas chambers. 8O

I did a Google Image search to see if I could find a photo of it but no luck.
