During hisimprisonment in the Majdanek camp, Albin Maria Boniecki made another animal out of cement –a 1.5 meter long lizard. Its back was intensely green, the sides were covered with spots of several colors, and the abdomen was yellow.Jawswere slightly open, in a brown shade, red on the inside, withbaring, yellow teeth. The reptile's eyes were convex, originally red with a blue twinkle and black colored rims. The sculpture was placed in prisoner field III, next to the camp crew barracks, at which engineerStanisławZelent together with his labour unit, and gardener Jerzy Kwiatkowski created the first small garden. Crouching and ready to jump, the lizard stood on a stone foundation, with its snout turned towards the window of the SS men barracks, so that it could threaten them with attack all the time. Kwiatkowski again helped in the construction of the elevation for the sculpture. He madeit together with a group of masonsfrom stones and old brick.On one side of the structure – in the place from which the reptile would raise itsfoot as if it was trying to climb the wall – he sowed decorative perennials.

Similarly to the previous two sculptures, the lizard was created with the consent of the camp authorities. For the Germans it was just an ornament, a decoration intended only to please the eye. Majdanek crew members did not realise what the sculpture really meant and how important it was for the prisoners. It was a symbol of the Polish underground, clandestine struggle against the occupier by referring to the secretMilitary Organization Lizard Union, operating in 1939–1942. As an embodiment of resistance, the sculpture united prisoners and sustained their spirits.

The lizard sculpture was donated to the collections of the State Museum at Majdanek in 1949 by the Lublin District of the Polish Red Cross. Initially, it was set up on the grounds of the former camp so that every visitor could see it. Unfortunately, due to repeated damage (especially broken tail), the lizard was moved to one of the Museum's storerooms. In 1998, students of the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts carried out full conservation of the sculpture. They repaired all damage, cleaned the polychrome, and supplemented its defects (hence the change in the color of the lizard's eyes).
