In the beginning of 19th century, because the old Jewish cemetery in Lublin was entirely used, and the government issued in 1792 a regulation about the liquidation of cemeteries situated in the city area, Jewish Lublin community faced the necessity to establish the new cemetery. In 1828, beyond the borders of the former city, currently on Walecznych street, new Jewish cemetery was created.The cemetery was arranged according to applicable provisions: it had a wall and a well situated there to complete the religious rites, and in the half of 19th century the funeral home was build nearby. The rule of mechitza was applied, according to which men and women were buried separately. The female part of the cemetery was situated on the left site from the main gate, and the male part was on the right side.In 1915 the war cemetery was established on the south side of the community cemetery. Its creation was connected to the battles of Kraśnik and Lublin, between the Russian Army and Austro-Hungarian Army, in which Jewish soldiers also took part. Bodies of the killed soldiers were exhumed in 1918 and brought to the specially created cemetery, adjacent to the new cemetery on Unicka Street.Overall, between 1830 and 1942, about 52 thousand people were buried in the new Jewish cemetery on Walecznych Street, including nearly 6 thousand between 1939 and 1942. Among the dead resting on the cemetery there are such characters as: Majer Jehuda Szapiro or Jehuda Lejb Eige together with continuators of the dynasty, Abraham and Izrael.During World War II the area of the cemetery was the place of mass executions and burial place for the dead Podzamcze ghetto residents. Probably after the liquidation of the Majdan Tatarski ghetto in November 1942 the cemetery was destroyed and the tombstones were used, among others, to paving roads in the Majdanek concentration camp. The ones left after the war were plundered.After the war, the Jewish cemetery started to be used again in 1944, when Jewish soldiers who died in the hospitals of the Lubelski region, and member of the Lublin Jewish community were buried there.In September 1947 the Memorial to the murdered Jews of Lublin, which commemorates Jewish captives from the forced labor camp on Lipowa Street and Jewish soldiers of the Polish Army who died between 1939 and 1944.In 1958 ohel of the tzaddik family Eiger was renovated. At the same time brother of rabbi Majer Szapiro transported the remains of the founder of the Rabbinical Academy from Lublin to Jerusalem, where he was buried on the Har ha-Menuchot cemetery (“The mount of those who are resting”). In Lublin there is only empty, symbolic ohel.In the end of the 1980s as a result of the actions of the foundation of Sara and Manfred Frenkel, the area of the cemetery on Walecznych Street was finally organized. To the burial side of the cemetery were transferred tombstones saved from the city area (currently there are tombstones from the Wieniawa district and Głusk, and also one tombstone from the former war cemetery from the First World War, adjacent to the cemetery, and from Puławy and Annopol. In July 1991 the renovation of the Jewish cemetery was finished and the Chamber of Memory was built.The fence of the part of the cemetery renovated by the foundation of Sara and Manfred Frenkel consists of 300 stele – matzevot, which from the outside are styled in a way to symbolize the destruction and passing. From the inside it is possible to install memorial plaques, what in later years happens very often.The Chamber of Memory created on the cemetery refer in its shape to the Jewish tombstone: stele and tomb enlarged to a huge size. Inside of the Chamber of Memory there are elements of the synagogue equipment: aron-ha kodesh (in which according to the assumption Torah was to be situated), and bema, made of oak wood. Inside the Chamber there is a permanent exhibition presenting the history of Jewish cemeteries in Lublin.In 1993, in the area of the cemetery with no fence (currently on the north side of Andersa Street) the memorial – ohel was built. In the inside the urn with the ashes of the victims of the former concentration camp in the Majdanek district, where part of the Lublin Jews was mudered.Nowadays, the area of the cemetery is divided into open part–south side of Andersa Street–returned to the Jewish Religious Community in Warsaw, and closed part, on the north side of Andersa Street, in possession of State Treasury under the management of the Property Management Departmend of the Lublin City Office.Based on: https://teatrnn.pl/leksykon/artykuly/nowy-cmentarz-zydowski-w-lublinie/
