I visited Majdanek former concentration camp in 1969 Easter, with a Polish friend from Lublin. We saw the memorial, which Wikipedia says was completed in May 1969, and even took photos, now lost.

Concerning this I wrote a poem abt Aushwitz and Majdanek which features the line--"how much ashes does one human being make?"
Because there is a small hillock of human ashes under that round memorial building in Majdanek.
I have since asked several people who brought back relatives' ashes from cremations, and if you medical or science people know the answer, pl let me know.
In my present novel, a female garuda just laid eggs in ashes of Majdanek and Auschwitz.
