The children of the Majdanek survivor Ryszard Gawełek: Ms Anna Wyroślak and Mr Tomasz Gawełek visited the museum last weekend. During this moving stay they could learn about our archival resources thanks to our historian Marta Grudzińska. They also donated their family mementos – documents, photographs and personal items of their father.
In April and May the staff of the State Museum at Majdanek went on study tours at the key museums and education centres of Amsterdam and Berlin. The aim of their networking visit was to learn about the activities and programmes of foreign historical museums and to exchange ideas and experiences with diverse museum professionals.
In order to mark the 80th anniversary of the World War II ending in Europe, we share our latest publication prepared for Polish and foreign teachers.
80 years ago, on 8 May 1945, World War II ended. Or maybe – to paraphrase dr Zygmunt Klukowski, who is cited in one of the published essays – we entered the 86th year of war in January 2025?
On 23-28 March 2025 the State Museum at Majdanek with its branches in Bełżec and Sobibór hosted an international exchange for the youth from Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands.
We proudly announce that an exhibition developed by the State Museum at Majdanek is for the first time presented to the audience in the Netherlands. The project entitled “Spaces of the Holocaust: Majdanek, Bełżec, Sobibór” launches at the Kamp Westerbork Memorial, where all visitors can see an exhibition displayed under the same title.
On 26 January the director of the State Museum at Majdanek dr Tomasz Kranz was granted the National Leadership Award by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The American institution appreciated his long-time engagement in the Holocaust remembrance as well as the input in the field of education in Poland.
