At one time the Majdanek State Museum used this photo to claim the window in the B41 L room (Room with blue stains) was not there when the Germans occupied the camp.
Did they abandon that claim? If so why?

a museum rep is all I have. It came from the leader of archives at Majdanek, the guy behind the camera in the recent video.
I get it, the USHMM and the Majdanek staff indicated different stories on other subjects at the camp back when they would talk with me. There is a contact at their website, ask them and see what reply you get, I would be interested.
this guy told me

My question was useless, sorry about that.
After rereading the museum's article on the gas chambers it's clear what their answer is going to be.
Jean-Claude Pressac, who analyzed the use of gas chambers at Majdanek, claims that the most significant argument determining whether the so-called makeshift gas chamber was used for killing people is finding out whether a window, visible today in that room, existed there during the camp’s operations. Indeed, this window is not visible on a photograph of the bathhouse taken in 1942. Most likely it was added after the war, during the initial repair work, when the bathhouse barracks were connected to the bunker and the entire structure covered with a common roof.

They used to sing in the undressing room.
But now it's not a gas chamber, so those videos have disappeared.
