Garbacz, Plenty of Catholics were imprisoned and killed by the Nazis too. Have you tried the International Tracing Service: http://www.its-arolsen.org/en/homepage/index.html
Have you seen this site that names people that have been victims of the Nazi oppression:

This site is a work in progress, and if your great-grandfather's name isn't there, it could be added. If you do find his name, click on it, and there will be more information.

Hi, my great-grandfather born near Wysokie Lubelskie at the age of 41 was imprisoned in Majdanek, it was the year 1942.
What I know that happened after is that he came back home and lived until 1968.

I suppose that he survived in the camp until 1944, year of the liberation, or maybe he escaped before, I still don't know.

I contacted the Majdanek Museum to know more informations about him, but they just gave me the informations that I already found on their database... And I still don't know why he was imprisoned, was he a jew? I don't know...

For me, as a young man, knowing that one of my close relatives suffered the atrocity of the holocaust and don't know almost anything about him is very difficult.

So, I really please you all:

Where can I find more informations about the Majdanek prisoners?
Do you know some websites or forum for these kind of infos?

Thank you so much
