Lublin, Poland is located 120 miles NW of Lviv.
Majdanek Concentration Camp, 4km SE from Lublin city centre, is now a State Museum, observing its 75th Anniversary in 2019.
When the Museum was first established in 1945, most paper documents were retrieved from ditches, having been dumped in attempts to destroy all records. 53,000 names of prisoners have been recovered but many many more have been lost. The Museum continues to work hard to put personal items and stories into exhibits so people, especially younger generations, can see a personal side of the prisoners. In ongoing efforts to keep exhibitions current, a graphic novel has been created about the story of Majdanek. The main character wears Fr Emilian's prison number - 2399. The one barrack that is open for viewing held Fr Emilian - Field 3 block 14. The ashes of the mausoleum were collected from fields where they had been dumped; A preservative is frequently sprayed over so ashes don't blow away. Bones and larger pieces are respectfully displayed in a casket.
The above is a brief summary given by a great-grandaughter of Blessed Emilian who visited Majdanek and its archives in October, 2019.
Since it is impossible to find real relics of Blessed Emilian Kowcz, dust from the Majdanek mound is considered as such.
A minute amount of these relics rest at the Shrine of Blessed Nun Martyrs Olympia and Laurentia, Saskatoon.
