New Jewish Cemetery
The cemetery located at ul. Walecznych near ul. Unicka, established in 1829 and destroyed by the Nazis, is now restored. It was surrounded by a wall in the shape of symbolically damaged mitzvahs. At the entrance stands a building that constitutes a memorial mausoleum with a small synagogue that houses the Lublin Jews, Memorial Hall. Currently, the Jewish cemetery is the burial ground for today's tiny Jewish community in the area. Here, we can also see: an obelisk commemorating the extermination of the Jews, the military quarters of Jewish soldiers serving in the Polish army between 1944-45 and an empty ohel left after the grave of Rabbi Maier Szapira, founder of the yeshiva in Lublin.
