Nearly 80 years after the camp’s liquidation, studies pertaining to its topography have yet to be conclusively completed. Archival sources often contain information that is imprecise and field verification of research results is not always possible as a considerable part of the former camp has since been taken over by the expanding city.

"Doctors in Prison Uniforms. Medical Service at Majdanek" is the first exposition of the State Museum at Majdanek which was prepared to be viewed on the Internet. Not only does it concentrate on the history of the functioning of infirmaries or the lazaret for Soviet POWs, but it is also an attempt to answer the question whether and in what ways it was possible to treat the inmates in really poor camp conditions. The exhibition is illustrated with video footages, scans of archival documents and photographs of the artifacts found at Majdanek after the war.

The phrase „never again” very frequently appears as a title to various anti-war exhibitions and events that most commonly refer to World War II. Never Again? used in the form of a question gains an entirely new and grievous meaning as it confronts this timeworn slogan with reality – exposing its futility and shattering hope for those words to come into fruition.

In 1967 the Council for the Protection of Martyrdom Sites and the Society for the Protection of Majdanek proclaimed a competition for the design of a monument commemorating the victims of Konzentrationslager Lublin. Apart from paying homage to those murdered at Majdanek, the monument was intended to secure the mound with the ashes of the victims, raised in the museum in 1947. The foreground of the former camp or area around the crematorium were indicated as areas where the future commemoration was to be built. Nearly 140 projects were submitted.

The Days of Majdanek were an event with a history nearly as long as that of the State Museum at Majdanek itself. They were first organized in September 1945. The idea for the event was first proposed in the circles of former Majdanek prisoners and quickly found considerable public support. Other members of the event’s organizing committee included representatives of cultural and scientific circles, local authorities and social organizations. For many years, the Society for the Protection of Majdanek, established in November 1945, served as the main organizer of the event while also supporting other efforts of the Museum at Majdanek opened in the autumn of 1944.

Despite the historical significance ascribed to the deportations of Poles during the German occupation, the subject is rarely taken in the activities of Polish martyrdom museums. The exhibition "The Displaced from the Zamość Region in the Majdanek Camp" is the only museum realization in recent years that popularized knowledge of the deportation action in Zamość in 1943.
