It is known to be the best preserved Nazi concentration camp of the Holocaust, as the Germans did not have enough time to destroy the evidences of their crimes, thus "many of the symbols of the Holocaust have their beginning here". Konstantin Simonov (1915-1979) was a Soviet author and war time correspondent of the official organ of the Soviet Ministry of Defence "Krasnaya Zvezda" thus the eyewitness and chronicler of the liberation of the Majdanek death camp.
