Majdanek
This is a picture of body remains and the clothes of those deceased. All that mattered during the holocaust was getting rid of all Jews and to have the Third Reich.“We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything--death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth.”
Between April 29, 1942, and November 3, 1943, Jewish prisoners were the
majority of prisoners registered at Majdanek. The SS deported between 74,000 and 90,000 Jews to the Majdanek concentration camp. In the early autumn of 1943, District Lublin, Budzyn, Trawniki, Poniatowa, Krasnik, Pulawy, and the Airstrip and Lipowa camps in Lublin became subcamps of Majdanek. On November 3, 1943, in Operation "Erntefest" (Harvest Festival), special SS and police units came to Lublin specifically for that purpose and shot 18,000 Jews just outside the camp.
Death toll:
Majdanek total: 1.5 mil
Jews: 400,000
Other: 1.1 mil
