Reasons for the high death rate
Mattogno and Graf explain on page 60 of their book:
"The decisive factor which made Majdanek the worst of all the National Socialist concentration camps, at least part of the time, was probably neither the mistreatment of inmates–the scale and scope of which cannot be determined–nor the executions, which of course also took place in other camps. Rather it was the sanitary conditions, which were dreadful until early 1943 and still very bad from that time until autumn of the same year, and which inevitably triggered epidemics and thus the incredibly high mortality rate in the Lublin camp. This too was a result of the ‘temporary nature’ of this camp: as we have seen, Majdanek’s connection to the municipal sewer system of Lublin was greatly delayed by squabbling among various authorities, and carried out at a snail’s pace even once it had finally been decided upon."
Might be worthwhile to add to the page
