About Theodor Van Eupen
- Theodor van Eupen (24 April 1907 – 14 December 1944) was a member of the SS of Nazi Germany.
- A Holocaust perpetrator, he served as the commandant of the Treblinka I forced-labour camp (Arbeitslager) in occupied Poland during its entire course of operation.
- Unlike the parallel Treblinka extermination camp (Treblinka II) subordinate to the Operation Reinhard authorities in Berlin, Treblinka I was controlled by the SS and Police Leader in Warsaw.
- The labour camp was liquidated on 23 July 1944, ahead of the Soviet advance.
- By then, more than half of its cumulative number of some 20,000 inmates had died from summary executions, hunger, disease and mistreatment.
- The regular workforce consisted of 1,000–2,000 prisoners, terrorized by staff of about a dozen SS-men and 100 Wachmänner guards.
