| Achoimre: | The Extermination of the Jews in MajdanekAbout 60.000 Jews were exterminated in Majdanek between the establishment of the camp in October 1941 and the liberation of Lublin by the Red Army in July 1944. Among them 18,000 persons were executed on November 3, 1943, in the context of Operation Erntefest. Two thirds of the victims were of Polish origin, especially from the district of Lublin, the Warsaw and Bialystok ghettos. Others were deported from Slovakia, from the protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia, from the Reich (Germany and Austria), France, the Netherlands and Greece.Majdanek was placed under the double authority of the General Inspection of the Concentration Camps (IKL) and the Head of the Lublin Security Police (SD), Odilo Globocnik. The camp functioned both as a forced labor camp, a manpower reservoir, a looting center and a death camp. During the summer of 1942, gas chambers were built in one of the barracks. They were in use until September 1943. Despite of all the information that we have in hand, it is impossible to give a precise number of the victims assassinated in Majdanek. |
