Most of us, if not all, have now seen the Pianist and Schindlers list. However, I had never heard of Majdanek and there is a true horror to be found there unlike anywhere else. I won't tell you what it is because I think it is important that you "find" it as I did. If you are in Lublin this... More

Sad place if you see what people can if they wants to rule others. You will see fireplaces for people, you will visit death rooms for Zyklon b gas. You will be touched when you imagine what Jews and other religions prisoners like Jehovah Witneses needed to put up with

If you want to visit a concentration camp but want to avoid the crowds, go to Majdanek which is the second largest camp in Poland. You will not regret it, and you will have a better understanding of how awful Nazism was. There is not a ton of information posted, but you can find general information about the existing buildings... More
