In the film
The group’s last visit together, walking through the camp’s barracks, gas chambers and the room of victims’ shoes.
History in brief
The Germans ran Majdanek as a concentration and extermination camp from 1941 to 1944; around 78,000 people were killed here, most of them Jews. Liberated in July 1944, it was the first major camp reached by the Allies, and a museum opened that November.
The place today
A memorial and museum on the site, with surviving barracks and a mausoleum holding victims’ ashes.
