The official opening of the renovated well situated in Ruska Street
The well - restoration work
In 2017, the year which marks the 700th anniversary of the founding of Lublin and the granting of the Magdeburg rights to the city, an idea was born to renovate the brick structure enclosing the well situated in Ruska Street.
The well located in the shunting yard of the central bus station provided water for the inhabitants of Lublin until the very outbreak of WWII. Back then, the well marked the intersection of two streets – Ruska and Szeroka, and thus stood in the very heart of the Jewish District. Today, the structure is one of the very few remnants of Podzamcze, the district of Lublin which was otherwise entirely demolished after 1943.
The first activities aimed at restoration of the well were undertaken in 2017. They started with the assessment of the feasibility of carrying out renovation work aimed at conservation and safeguarding the brick structure enclosing the well, providing the building with glazing on its east-western axis, installing illumination panels as well as replacing the surface surrounding the well. As a consequence, preliminary work was carried out inside the structure, and the restoration project was prepared. The design was elaborated by Maciej Herman from Herman and Partners Associated Architects in Lublin. Conservation and renovation work on the structure of the well commenced on the 12th of March 2018, under the supervision of Monika Konkolewska from the Art Conservation Studio in Lublin.
All of the activities relating to restoration work were undertaken on the initiative of the Julian and Raphael Mahari family and the Rotary Club Lublin Centrum. The endeavour was backed by the following institutions: Lublin Stations PLC, the Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments in Lublin, Lublin City Office, “Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” Centre, as well as private parties.
The official opening of the structure took place on the 16th of April 2018.

A Reflection on Holocaust Memory and Memorials
This reflection is for my 'Century of Genocide' class. I discuss the difference between physical monuments/memorials and the process of active memorialization as exemplified by the Grodzka Gate--NN Theatre in Lublin, Poland. I make reference to The Texture of Memory by James Young.

MEMORY TRAIL. The route to Umschlagplatz / July 5 2017
The first in seventy years international meeting of Lublin' Jewish inhabitants and their descendants took place on July 3-7 2017. The Lubliner Reunion has constituted an important part of the celebrations which mark 700 years since the founding of the city of Lublin and was designed to emphasize the significance of the Jewish community in its history.
More then 200 people from all over the world took part in the Lubliner Reunion. The youngest participant was an 8-month-old boy from France. The oldest Lubliners, from Israel, France and United Stated, still have remembered the shape of the pre-war Lublin' tenement houses and sounds of the busy markets and streets.
The Lubliner Reunion Program covered meetings devoted to the history and culture of Jewish Lublin, workshops in genealogy, walks along tourist trails, commemorations and a variety of artistic events. One of the central features were the presentations of Lubliner family stories. Our guests had a chance to get to know both historical and contemporary Lublin, visit the former Jewish District and meet us - non-Jews working to preserve the memory of the Jews of Lublin for generations to come.
