Majdanek Concentration Camp

Majdanek was a Nazi concentration camp established during World War II near Lublin, Poland. It functioned as a site for the imprisonment, forced labor, and extermination of Jews, Romani people, Soviet prisoners, and others considered undesirable by the Nazi regime. Equipped with gas chambers, crematoria, and brutal living conditions, it was a symbol of the Holocaust's atrocities. Unlike some camps, Majdanek was partially liberated by Soviet forces in 1944. Today, it serves as a memorial to those who suffered and as a reminder of the horrors of genocide and totalitarianism.
