Majdanek, concentration camp situated on the outskirts of Lublin in Poland. It was built as a prisoner-of-war camp in late 1941 but grew to become the largest Nazi concentration camp after Auschwitz. From August 1942, when it was fitted with gas chambers, until July 1944, when the Red Army reached it, it was a death camp (see OPERATION REINHARD) where about 200,000 people were killed. See also Final Solution.
