In this thread we present the stories of people who experienced love in the times and place that did not at all favour such feelings. Those cases of love were either born behind the barbed wires of Majdanek or were put to a test through separation and detention at the concentration camp.

It was also their love for those who remained in freedom: wives, daughters, mothers, husbands or fathers. Those feelings gave the prisoners strength and allowed them to endure the hell of the concentration camp. These people manifested that love and managed to retain their humanity despite the efforts of their torturers.
