Majdanek – German concentration camp from World War II. The Majdanek concentration camp operated between autumn 1941 and July 1944 on the southeastern outskirts of Lublin. It was officially called the “Prisoner-of-War Camp of the Waffen-SS in Lublin.” Following the German attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941, the camp was intended to become a production site for the SS. During its approximately 30 months of existence, the “Lublin concentration camp,” as it was officially called from February 1943, fulfilled various functions and was subordinate to different units of the Nazi concentration camp system. The SS used it as a forced-labor camp and, in part, as an extermination camp. The memorial erected on the former camp grounds after the war was one of the first monuments in Europe to honor the victims of Nazi crimes at this historic site. Today, the museum comprises a total of 70 original buildings.

This tour takes you from Warsaw to the Majdanek Museum at the outskirts of Lublin. Majdanek was established by Nazi Germany in 1941 and served as a concentration and extermination camp. Due to the rapid advance of the Soviet army in 1944, the camp was captured almost intact, making it the best-preserved Holocaust camp in Europe. Traveling with a knowledgeable, English-speaking guide will help you understand not only the historical facts but also the broader context of the German Nazi occupation and the Holocaust in occupied Poland. Majdanek is visited far less frequently than Auschwitz, allowing for a calm, unhurried, and respectful experience. The visit focuses on authentic sites, including original barracks, gas chambers, crematoria, execution sites, barbed-wire fences, and watchtowers. Exhibitions in preserved buildings present historical documents, photographs, and personal testimonies, with time to walk through, reflect on, and absorb the site at your own pace.
