Its conservation, exhibition, educational, scholarly, and publishing activities are presented in our newest publication entitled "The State Museum at Majdanek 1944–2024. An Illustrated History.”
The book paints a chronological portrait of the institution’s development that is illustared mainly with the archival museum’s photographic collections, which „breathe life into the names that appear in the documents and scholarly publications and transform the realities of the events described from abstractions into vivid images. In the emotions captured in these photographs – emotions absent from the chroniclers’ records – the story finds its full voice: the terror of the first visitors, the deep emotion of former prisoners attending commemorative ceremonies, and the joy of museum staff receiving recognition for their work” – as stated in the "Forword.”
