From the fall of 1941 through July 1944, Majdanek functioned as a killing center and a concentration camp for about 150,000 prisoners from different European countries. Drawing on video testimonies as a type of oral history, the article traces the perception of Jews in the camp by Polish prisoners, their social interactions, and the interethnic social boundaries shaped by camp life.  }, doi = {10.4467/24500100STJ.18.015.10266}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studia-judaica/article/to-was-tutaj-tak-strasznie-bija-nie-nas-nie-tylko-zydow-zydzi-w-obozie-na-majdanku-w-swietle-relacji-polskich-wiezniow} }
