Majdanek, on the edge of Lublin, Poland was the first major camp to be liberated (22 July 1944). Thanks to a sudden advance by the Soviet Army, the SS didn't have time to blow up the crematoria or gas chambers, and the camp was almost intact when liberated. It was primarily an exceptionally harsh concentration camp, where the guards sometimes amused themselves by killing prisoners with clubs and other blunt instruments and by torturing them. Another part was an extermination camp with gas chambers. There is some evidence that it was used mainly as a "back up" killing centre, when there was insufficient capacity at other camps, especially Auschwitz. An estimated 78,000 victims were killed there.
