Table used to search body cavities of the dead for gold teeth and other valuables the Nazis could use before discarding the bodies
Ovens used in the crematorium to dispose of the bodies

Mountain of ashes discovered at Majdanek and put into a huge memorial
Majdanek Pt. II
Shower room where inmates were cleaned after having their bodies shaved before receiving their uniforms. A terrifying and confusing welcome to Majdanek.
Stain on the wall of the gas chamber from the Xyclon B gas used to exterminate. The process took 15 minutes.
Symbols identifying different groups targeted by the Nazis
Floor to ceiling- rows of shoes. Each pair represents a person who perished at Majdanek.

The 2013 Cincinnati March of the Living Delegation in front of Majdanek Concentration Camp Memorial
The steps to the top of the memorial- almost straight up- very steep and covered with snow
Walk under the memorial to enter the camp. A "frame" that takes the group back in time to a horrific place in our history
The Memorial from inside the camp
