“Just before the outbreak of the Second World War, Lublin was inhabited by about 42,000 Jews. As the Germans occupied the city, this number increased by several thousands of people — fugitives from the western parts of the country, or people displaced compulsorily by the occupation of the Reich itself, or from the lands included into it…
…It is very difficult to estimate, how many Jews of Lublin managed to survive the Holocaust period. At the beginning of August 1944, there were about 300 Jews inhabiting the city, including only 15 pre-war inhabitants of Lublin. By the end of that year the number rose to over 3,000, and then - in the first months of 1945, after liberation of the pre-war centres of Jewish life: Warsaw, Lódz and Krakow - it fell to about 2,500 (the number from the beginning of May 1945)25” (Grodzka Gate).
