Narrative

In the 16th century, more than twenty towns in Poland obtained the privilegia de non tolerandis Judaeis, including:
* Miedzyrzec in 1520
* Warsaw in 1525
* Sambor in 1542
* Grodek in 1550
* Vilna in 1551
* Bydgoszcz in 1556
* Stryj in 1567
* Biez, Krosno and Tarnogrod 1569
* Pilzno in 1577
* Drohobycz in 1578
* Mikolajow in 1596
* Checiny in 1597
In practice, this ban was inconsistently observed. In other locations, separate suburbs, "Jewish towns", were formed, including:
* Lublin
* Piotrkow
* Bydgoszcz
* Drohobycz
* Sambor
Jews fought for and won the revocation of those discriminatory regulations, including:
* Stryj
* Tarnogrod

Narrative

From 1580 to 1764, the Jewish Council or Diet of Four Lands Arba Artsot (Sejm of 4 countries) was held in Lublin, and 70 delegates of Jewish local kahals met to discuss issue of taxations and other important for Jewish communities issues.
In 1581, the Diet of the Four Lands forbade fellow Jews taking the lease of salt mines, mints, taxes on the sale of liquor and customs and tolls in Great Poland, Lesser Poland and Mazovia, which was justified in the statement: "People fired by the greed of great income and wealth owing to those large tenancies, may bring unto the whole [Jewish population] - God forbid - a great danger."

Narrative

In 1939, a reservation for Jews was set up near Lublin, according to the Nisko Plan,or Lublin Plan.
Lublin served as a German headquarters for Operation Reinhardt, the main effort to exterminate the Jews in occupied Poland. Lublin's Jewish population was forced into the Lublin Ghetto in the Podzamcze area.
From March 17, 1942, to April 11, 1942, the majority of the Lublin Ghetto's inhabitants, about 26,000 people, was deported to the Bełżec extermination camp, while the remainder were moved to Majdanek, at the outskirts of the city, where most of them were killed.

Narrative

In August, 1945, anti-Jewish riots broke out in Kraków, and spread to Sosnowiec and Lublin.

Narrative

On November 19, 1945, there was a pogrom in Lublin, in which Poles killied Jews returning to their homes.
