Gas chambers, Majdanek concentration camp, outskirts of Lublin, Poland, c1940s(?). Majdanek was the first major Nazi concentration camp to be captured by the Allies in the Second World War. The Red Army took it almost intact on 22 July 1944. Although Majdanek was originally built as a forced labour rather than extermination camp, 78,000 Jews and other prisioners died there between 1941 and 1944.
