Sarcophagus memorial in
crematorium -
A stone
coffin containing ashes and
bones of prisoners killed in
the crematorium was on
display.
|
The camp was liquidated in
July 1944, but the
crematoria were all that
could be destroyed before
the Soviet Red Army arrived,
making Majdanek the
best-preserved camp of the
Holocaust. Although 1,000
inmates were evacuated on a
death march, the Red Army
found thousands of inmates,
mainly POWs, still in the
camp. They also found
enough evidence of the mass
murder that had occurred
there.
