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, the house for the head of the prisoner camp, the female overssers’ quarter); in the area of the prisoner fields (49 buildings: the prisoner barracks, watchtowers and sentry boxes, the old crematorium, 2 sculptures made by the prisoners); in the economic sector (17 buildings: warehouses, workshops, bathhouse barracks, gas chambers) and the new crematorium.
“A window of time” is a steel construction which enables the visitors to see a fragment of the original road built by the prisoners at Majdanek. They used matzevot from the Jewish cemeteries in Lublin. There is also a plaque with a short historical comment in three languages: Polish, English and Hebrew.
