Jews constituted one of the most important ethnic and religious groups in the history of Lublin. Under the Nazi occupation the Lublin Jewish quarter was turned into a ghetto. In March 1942, after the liquidation of the ghetto, the area was knocked down. And so, extermination of Jews was accompanied by destruction of the local architectural structures and urban layout which had been developed over a few centuries. The article discusses contemporary narratives relating to the no longer existing Jewish quarter. The processes of remembering and forgetting, as well as recurring constructing of this kind of narratives will be analyzed in relation to the oral history interviews taken by the author in the years 1998–2005 as part of the documentary programme “Oral History of Lublin” run by the “Brama Grodzka – Teatr NN” Centre. The analyses are a starting point for searching the answer to questions about historical, social and cultural determinants of creating (reconstructing) the narrative about the Jewish quarter – as a place in a topographical sense and a symbolic space of cultural otherness.
