The Building of the Central Jewish Committee in Poland and the Voivodship Committee of Jews in Lublin on the corner of Rybna Street and Noworybna Street in the Old Town. Both committees functioned in 1945-49 and wanted to reactivate the Jewish community in the independent post-war Poland. However, many Jews who survived the Holocaust did not want to reveal their identity for fear of persecution, some of them remained in hiding outside the city or immigrated to the Soviet Union. The Committee set up a Jewish school, published a newspaper and collected information about the survivors. In 1948 the Jewish population in Lublin numbered ca. 500 people. The last wave of mass emigration took place in 1968 after a nation-wide anti-Semitic campaign. Presently there is just a small Jewish community in the city of Lublin.
