The State Museum at Majdanek was established in 1944 on the grounds of the German Nazi extermination and death camp. In 1941–1944 nearly 80 thousand people perished there, including mainly Jews, Poles, Belarusians, Ukrainians, and Russians.
Here you can find contents about the history of the camps, personal stories of deportees, and more information about the Museum collections.
A series of short clips in which we analyse the archival photographs from the time of the camp’s functioning and the first years of the Museum.
In late April, 1942, the Germans created “the model ghetto” at Majdan Tatarski – a suburban industrial district of Lublin. The functioning of the second closed quarter established in the city was inextricably connected with another nearby facility – the Majdanek concentration camp.
We would like to remind you that on Thursday, June 4, the State Museum at Majdanek will be closed to visitors due to the Corpus Christi holiday, which is a public holiday in Poland.
Starting on April 7, 2026, the entrances to the Museum from ul. Cmentarna and ul. Tetmajera will be closed.
