Majdanek cap returned to Poland

A prisoner’s cap from the Majdanek concentration camp in Poland— likely stolen decades ago from the museum there — has been found in the United States. The striped cap will be transferred to the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage on Thursday and returned to the museum. Experts who checked the cap confirmed its authenticity.

Logorska kapa iz koncentracijskog logora Majdanek u Poljskoj- koja j e  bila ukradena prije nekoliko  desetljeća iz muzeja u logoru- pronađena je u USA. Ona će biti prenesena poljskom Ministarstvu kulture i nacionalne baštine i vraćena u četvrtak u muzej. Eksperti koji su provjeravali kapu su potvrdili njenu autentičnost.

In June, the Ministry of Culture received information that the cap was part of an online auction in the United States. The cap still bore part of a badge with the words “Majdanek” and “Museum.” The museum at Majdanek notified police and, with the help of the FBI, will now get it back. On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to Poland Stephen Mull will pass the cap to a representative of the Polish culture ministry before it is returned to the Majdanek museum.
