A monument commemorating the victims of the 1937 peasant strike, in which 15 people died.
The difficult situation in the countryside in the pre-war period meant that members of the Peasant Party, led by their leader Wincenty Witos, were harassed and imprisoned for defending their rights. This forced Witos to leave Poland. This did not discourage the peasants of Majdan, who remained in constant contact with their leader and, after he and the Peasant Party Congress decided to introduce the Peasant Strike (August 16-25, 1937), implemented it in their area. On the last day of the strike, as a large gathering of peasants prepared to submit a petition to the state authorities, tragedy struck. The Blue Police used firearms against them. Fifteen people died on the spot, including a small child. To commemorate this event, on the 50th anniversary in August 1987, a monument depicting a man with raised arms protecting a mother and her dying child was erected at the site of the tragedy, by the road in the center of the village.
