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.
It is time to draw up a summary of 2024. It was primarily marked by two important anniversaries: the 80th jubilee of the State Museum at Majdanek and the 20th anniversary of creating the Museum and Memorial in Bełżec. In July we recalled the moment when exactly 80 years passed from the final liquidation of KL Lublin.
We are pleased to announce that on December 30, 2024, Hanna Wróblewska, the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, appointed Tomasz Kranz as the Director of the State Museum at Majdanek. He was appointed for a 5-year-term through a competition prcedure.
On 23 October 2024, at the Lublin Conference Centre, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of the State Museum at Majdanek. It was a spontaneous occasion for a meeting within the circle of museologists and friends of the Museum, reminding of the institution’s history, presentation of present-day activity as well as honouring the most deserving employees.
