When it was set up in October 1941, Majdanek was a labor camp, controlled by the SS, in which Polish and Russian prisoners of war and Jews worked in armaments factories. From April 1942, it became an extermination camp. From 1942 until July 1943, when the Red Army liberated the camp, over 350,000 people were killed here, including 100,000 Jews.
