Majdanek
was a German concentration camp on the outskirts of Lublin, Poland, established
during German Nazi occupation of Poland. The camp operated from October 1, 1941
until July 22, 1944, when it was captured nearly intact by the advancing Soviet
Red Army. Although conceived as a forced labor camp and not as an extermination
camp, over 79,000 people died there (59,000 of them Polish Jews) during the 34
months of its operation.
The name
'Majdanek' ("little Majdan") derives from the nearby Majdan Tatarski
("Tartar Maidan") district of Lublin, and was given to the camp in
1941 by the locals, who were aware of its existence. In Nazi documents, and for
reasons related to its funding, Majdanek was initially "Prisoner of War
Camp of the Waffen-SS in Lublin". It was renamed "Konzentrationslager
Lublin" (Concentration Camp Lublin) in February 1943.
Among
German Nazi concentration camps, Majdanek was unusual in that it was located
near a major city, not hidden away at a remote rural location. It is also
notable as the best-preserved concentration camp of the Holocaust - as it was
close to the former Soviet border, there was too little time for the Nazis to
destroy the evidence before the Red Army arrived.
