Róża Fiszman-Sznajdman (1913-1995), a writer who left Lublin in 1969 as a result of the antisemitic witch-hunt launched by the communist government in 1968, lived in the house across the street at number 47 (21 before WWII). As an émigré, she wrote My Lublin (published in Yiddish in 1982, and in Polish in 1989), a book abounding in detailed descriptions of prewar life in the city.My Lublin began at 21 Lubartowska Street, probably because this is where I was born, and spent my childhood and youth until 1939, when the Germans occupied the city. (…) The house actually comprised four buildings that enclosed a yard with a permanently dirty latrine for the tenants. My house was mostly inhabited by poor people. They always had problems earning their living, with hardly anybody having a regular income, and were always troubled by the thought of how to pay the rent, the most important point in their budget.Róża Fiszman, My LublinIn the house next door, at 49 Lubartowska Street (before 1939 at number 23), lived Moszek-Hersz and Chaja-Sura Warhaftig with daughter Josefina, who were murdered during Holocaust. There is a memorial plaque devoted to them located at the entry to their former home, placed there by their second daughter Ewa, who survived the Holocuats in hiding in France.
