Description
A tour to the former Nazi concentration camp near Lublin—among an estimated 150,000 prisoners who entered Majdanek, 80,000 people, including 60,000 Jews, were killed, shot, or murdered in gas chambers. Now visitors can see prisoners' barracks and monuments—mausoleums containing the ashes of the victims. This nine-hour tour is a must for people who wish to see and hear more about Polish and Jewish history. The official name is Konzentrationslager Lublin—Concentration Camp Lublin. The colloquial name came from the name of Lublin’s district—Majdan Tatarski, where the camp was founded. In the beginning, Majdanek was a small camp for POWs, later for Polish peasants displaced from Zamojszczyzna (a region in the southeast of Poland near the city of Zamość). But after the German offensive in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, it was rebuilt to contain over 50,000 prisoners.
