Poland, 1942 — Majdanek At Majdanek concentration camp, moments before groups of prisoners were led into the gas chambers, witnesses sometimes recalled scenes of heartbreaking tenderness. One account describes a mother kneeling beside her young daughter, her hands unsteady as she gently braided the child’s hair.
