Map of the former Jewish Quarter of Lublin

At the steps leading to Lublin Castle stands this black granite memorial bearing a map of the former Jewish quarter of Lublin. The text, written in Polish and Hebrew, reads:

“Map of the former Jewish quarter liquidated by the Germans in 1942”.

In 1941, the German occupiers turned the quarter into a ghetto for Jews. Its liquidation in 1942 was accompanied by the almost complete demolition of the buildings. Most of the ghetto's inhabitants were murdered, mainly in the Bełżec extermination camp and at other locations in the Lublin region.
