Lublin Holocaust Memorial
The Holocaust Memorial in Lublin (Template:Lang-pl) commemorates the Jewish inhabitants of the city who were killed during the Holocaust. It was unveiled in 1963.
In 2006, a controversy erupted when the city government proposed moving the monument to a different location more distant from the city center in order to free space to build an underground parking lot.[1] After protests from the Jewish community in Poland, it was decided that the monument would be moved to a temporary location while construction is carried out, and then afterwards would be returned to its original location.[2] The move was carried out and, since January 2007, the monument stands on Niecała street.[3] Construction was expected to take 3 years, so the monument was expected be returned around 2010.[4]
