PLEASE SEE MORE RARE COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS LISTED ON MY EBAY STORE ( IN WWII MEDALS, AUSCHWITZ HOLOCAUST GHETTO, WWII LARGE MEDALS, ARMY COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, WARSAW PACT MEDALS) This medal has been cast to commemorative the liberation of Majdanek WWII concentration camp by Soviet troops. SIZE about - 85 mm x 75 mm metal – bronze metal weight about 180 gr. (about 6.36 oz.) Majdanek was a German concentration camp on the outskirts of Lublin, Poland, established during German Nazi occupation of Poland. The camp operated from October 1, 1941 until July 22, 1944, when it was captured nearly intact by the advancing Soviet Red Army. Although conceived as a forced labor camp and not as an extermination camp, over 79,000 people died there (59,000 of them Polish Jews) during the 34 months of its operation.The name 'Majdanek' ("little Majdan") derives from the nearby Majdan Tatarski ("Tartar Maidan") district of Lublin, and was given to the camp in 1941 by the locals, who were aware of its existence. In Nazi documents, and for reasons related to its funding, Majdanek was initially "Prisoner of War Camp of the Waffen-SS in Lublin". It was renamed "Konzentrationslager Lublin" (Concentration Camp Lublin) in February 1943. Among German Nazi concentration camps, Majdanek was unusual in that it was located near a major city, not hidden away at a remote rural location. It is also notable as the best-preserved concentration camp of the Holocaust - as it was close to the former Soviet border, there was too little time for the Nazis to destroy the evidence before the Red Army arrived.
