Cyrulicza Street
Ulica Cyrulicza
Cyruliczna Street was laid out in the 1950s, but it was named only in the 20th century. This small street was situated between Szeroka Street and Lubartowska Street. It had a joint yard with Kowalska Street, in which meetings, political rallies and Hasidic prayers took place. The Coppersmiths Synagogue was located at the juncture of Cyruliczna Street and Szeroka Street. Earlier it was the Doktorowicz family house, where Hirsz Doktorowicz once lived. He was an agent of King Wladyslaw IV Vasa. In the interwar period a lot of small shops and craftsmen’s workshops were situated there. Amongst them the most common were so-called “sodówki”, shops where beverages and fruit were sold. During World War II the Street was a part of a Lublin ghetto. During the initial period a branch of a Central Society for the Care of Orphans “CENTOS” was operating there.Cyruliczna Street did not survive the war in its original shape. Only a fragment from Lubartowska Street to FurmaƄska Street survived, the rest was razed to the ground through the demolition of the Jewish quarter by the German occupying powers.
