	Majdanek Concentration Camp - history of a Nazi death camp
		In sharp contrast to the extermination camp at Treblinka, which is in a wooded area as remote as Ted Kaczynkski's Montana cabin, the Majdanek concentration camp is situated in a major urban area, four kilometers from the city center of Lublin, and can be easily reached by trolley car.
		People driving past the camp, while it was in operation, had a completely unobstructed view, being able to see the tall brick chimney of the crematorium wafting smoke from the top of a slope not far away, and the gas chamber building which is a few yards from a busy street.
		At the Majdanek camp, there is a large field of grass near the street, in the middle of which stands a lone white stucco house, the former dwelling of the Camp Commandant.

		In some sense, all of the concentration camps, and there were hundreds of them, were death camps in that thousands of inmates died of starvation, being worked to death, exposure to the elements, epidemics and disease, or simply being executed for alleged crimes.
		The German concentration camp at Majdanek was originally constructed on the outskirts of Lublin in October, 1941 as a prisoner-of-war camp.
		Originally, the camp was under the jursidiction of the Danzig chief of police; however, in 1941, it was reassigned as an SS camp.

	Comparative Analysis of Concentration Camps in Nazi Germany, the Former Soviet Union and North Korea
		North Korean camps, as are Nazi camps and Soviet gulags, constitute an element of the totalitarian system, which is made up of: single and compulsory ideology, one-party dictatorship, Fuhrerprinzip, trend towards the absorption of civil society by the political sector, use of terror, and most importantly, a permanent camp system.
		E) The last typical feature of the camps in the totalitarian states: The detainees are crushed in the name of an ideology that puts a hierarchic order among social, political or racial groups in relation to the group that is considered the ideal or the superior one.
		The children went to camp - at seven and nine years of age - and the Party ordered the daughter of a hero to cut off the rotten branch which represented her family and which was contaminated by an act of treason.
