- It's pretty difficult to put into words what it was like to walk through Majdanek Concentration Camp. As you may know we recently attended Auschwitz/ Birkenau which was a very difficult experience, however not even that could prepare us for what we witnessed at Majdanek. If you have an extra day in Warsaw, Lublin is just a 2 hour train ride away and from there the camp is a 10 minute taxi ride from the Old Town, so if possible please go.
This is a short documentary to give you a better understanding as Majdanek isn't one of the 'well known' Concentration Camps like Auschwitz, Treblinka or even Dachau. Hopefully this gives you a better picture of what happened at this extermination camp.

Nothing but Everything - Miles Avida
My wife's grandmother was in Majdanek for over a year and didn't say much about it as it was too traumatic for her to remember, but she did tell us one thing. Every morning at roll call, they were made to stand outside the barracks in a line, and a German guard went behind them, tapping them on the shoulder and counting them. When he felt like it, he would push a person forward, and that person was killed either by drowning in the cesspit, strangled, hung or shot; it just depended on his mood for the day. I cannot imagine waking up each morning thinking this is the last day you will live. She died six years ago, and she was one of the most beautiful persons I have met in my life, always acting about others, and I am so proud to have known her and I miss her so much. Her name was Adela Borzęcka and our daughter was named after her.
Hogwash, complete hogwash
@@dpjbdpjb This is a person who was awarded a pension by the German government for her time spent in Majdanek and I will not have some moron denaunce her name or word, by what he has learnt on some obscure website.
@@ukpolska5335 Based on my research exclusively on Majdanek, I feel confident I could body slam any stories this person told.
Fun Fact: A Jewish person in the WW2 zone or operation, regardless of being in a camp or not, gets paid by the German government. So that means nothing
@@dpjbdpjb I feel sorry for you and people like you and thank god you are in a minorty. Go ahead with your promotion of hate as the truth will always prevail over keyboard wannabe crusaders twisting their own narrative.
Thank you so much for making this video. I had never heard of this camp before your video and I feel it's so important for the world to know about all these atrocities. If we do not know our world history we are doomed to repeat it! Thank you for honouring the people who died at this place by telling their story.
Thanks for watching. Glad you learnt about a new camp and really appreciate the kind words. It was quite an emotional afternoon visiting this camp.
Majdanek is the only extermination camp that hasn’t been destroyed by the Nazis. The others are Treblinka , Sobibor, Belzec and I believe Chelmno. Auschwitz Birkenau I’m not including although I should because it was used for multipurpose reasons. The other extermination camps from what I know were strictly genocidal hell holes. Auschwitz I believe was also a factory? Maybe I’m wrong.
I’m from Lublin and this is so sad to watch 😢 great video
Hello Dagmara, thank you for watching! We really enjoyed our short time in Lublin. We really enjoyed seeing the new Portal! This however was very sad, I actually found this much tougher than I expected. It was very full on. Thanks for the kind words! :)
@@hgworldtour I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Lublin 😊
I do not understand how you could live in a town right across the street and watch innocent people murdered and tortured every single day.
Thanks for watching Harmony! The apartments and houses were built after the camp was liberated. :)
To avoid getting murdered yourself first of all. Genocides never have any lack of collaborators or people who simply don't care enough either.
@@hgworldtour That is true, but even back then the camp was still visible from Lublin. Someone even took a photo of smoke rising from pyres. The smoke from burning flesh could be seen and smelled from miles away
@@tornadospin9 Many families in the neighbourhood would provide shelter to those who escaped from the camp. My great grandma would hide Jews before they set off further into the unknown. She would give them clothes that belonged to my late great-grandpa - who was murdered in KL Dachau.
@@hgworldtour Not all of them, as many were very close to the camp and date back to the turn of the 1900 century.
Love the history lesson with this video
Thanks for the kind words, and for watching! :)
Thank you for uploading! I've been diving into the history of the Holocaust, and Majdanek is especially underreported. The mausoleum is fascinating and horrid but an important memorial nonetheless.
It's definitely underreported, this was a very chilling place. Thank you for watching.
@@hgworldtour Why is it that CO2 is stamped on the tanks and not CO?
I was able to take a tour of Dachau back in 1989 because some family I had wanted to go through to the camp. I have no desire to go back there ever again. I saw enough the first time.
There are no gas chambers at Dachau for humans
Excellent video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Majdanek not Auschwitz should be the main holocaust “attraction”. Auschwitz was a brutal slave labor camp where over 100,000 people where either worked to death, died of illness or were shot. But it was not a death camp and the Leuchter report all but confirms no mass gassings occurred at the camp. But it is undeniable that Majdanek was a death camp. The walls of the large gas chambers are blue because of the cyanide used in them. We do not see this in the showers at Auschwitz. Millions of innocent people died in the holocaust but the mainstream narrative needs to be revised to bring to light the true atrocities that occurred
Are you stupid? There are 1 gas chamber and crematora at Auschwitz 1 still complete and standing and several at Birkenau still there in rubble having been blown up. The are literal pictures of selections and thousands of witness statements. There is a literal full field of human ashes there and reems of other evidence. Auschwitz was a death camp. Stop spreading crap.
If you are talking about the big room at Majdanek with the blue staining, the holocaust museum does not label that room as a Zyklon gas chamber, No holes in the ceiling of that room.
@@wmsstuff271 That is not crap, You have blue staining in the Majdanek rooms where Zyklon was indeed used, and NO blue staining at the Auschwitz 1 alleged gas chamber.
It's listed as 1 of the 6 Death Camps that were used.
what did they use to combat Typhus in the camp?
???? Erm.........they used mass murder on a industrial scale to keep many diseases under control. They didn’t combat any medical problem with medicine, they just removed the people (infected or not) .
@@timsorsby That is incorrect. The zyklon b use can be seen in a claimed gas chamber (with blue staining) where the doors opened inward. If both doors open inward, how do you open the doors to get the bodies out if dead bodies are blocking the door opening path? Also, did you see the window in that gas chamber?
Bullets
@@estherende9491 your proofs?
Zyklon B. Used it only for disinfecting at Auschwitz but was most certainly used for mass execution at Majdanek
Home style and clean. In the traditional way
What?
@@hgworldtour look at the picture of TSC LIKEME or whatever he calls himself, he must be an idiot 😂
😔😥
Thanks for watching Michele :)
There's institution like this in ireland my mental health never recovered I was left with claustrophobia and ocd.
No there isn't lol
