Lublin marks anniversary of Nazi death camp liquidation

Poland's eastern city of Lublin on Wednesday marked the 76th anniversary of the liquidation of Majdanek, a death camp where Nazi Germans killed around 80,000 people, including 60,000 Jews between 1941 and 1944. Local officials and Majdanek Museum employees laid flowers at the Mausoleum containing ashes of the camp victims to mark the anniversary. Official state ceremonies were not organised this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
