Grounds and historical structures
On the partly preserved grounds of the former concentration camp there are 70 historical buildings from the years 1941-1944. They are situated in the former administrative part of the camp (3 buildings: the prisoner department office and the office of the head of this department, the female supervisors’ office); in the area of the prisoner fields (49 buildings: the barracks, watchtowers and sentry boxes, the old crematorium, 2 sculptures made by prisoners); in the utility part (17 buildings: warehouses, workshops, baths and gas chambers) and the new crematorium.
“A window of time” is a steel construction which enables one to see a fragment of the historical road built by the prisoners at Majdanek. They used matzevot from Jewish cemeteries in Lublin. There is also a plaque with a short historical comment in three languages: Polish, English and Hebrew.
