Majdanek State Museum
German concentration camp in Lublin, coloquially called Majdanek, was created by the decision of Heinrich Himmler. Built in the autumn of 1941, the camp was initially called Kriegsgefangenenlager der Waffen SS Lublin - a prisoner-of-war camp, and in February 1943 it was renamed Konzentrationslager Lublin - a concentration camp. Since October 1942, a women's camp began to function on one of the fields, too. Although the project of creating a children's camp at Majdanek was never implemented, you could find Jewish, Belarusian and Polish children from the Zamosc region among the adults. The prisoners came from 30 different countries. Most of them were citizens of Poland (mainly Poles and Jews), the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia (Jews).
