Acquisition

Forms part of the Claims Conference International Holocaust Documentation Archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This archive consists of documentation whose reproduction and/or acquisition was made possible with funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

Source of acquisition is the Państwowe Muzeum na Majdanku (Majdanek State Museum), Sygn. V. The documents were found after the war on the territory of the camp. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in July 2012.

Scope and Content

Personal documents of prisoners of KL Lublin-Majdanek taken from them upon arrival: approximately 1,800 items such as identity cards, certificates, diplomas, birth certificates, work books, books, financial documents, memoirs, correspondence, photo albums, and so on. One treasure is the memoir by a woman arriving from the Warsaw ghetto.

System of Arrangement

The system of arrangement of the source repository has been preserved in the microfilmed reels. Arranged in two series: 1. Files of prisoners whose identity can be determined, and arranged in alphabetical order by family name; 2.
