Historical Note

The history of Lubartów begins on May 29, 1543, when King Sigismund the Old+ allowed local nobleman Piotr to found a town called ''Lewartów'' (the original name comes from Lewart, the coat of arms of the Firlej family). From its foundation until World War II, the town also had a large Jewish community, numbering nearly half of the population in the 1930s. Nearly the entire community was destroyed during the Holocaust. Lubartów was a bilingual town for most of its history, Polish and Yiddish being both widely used. Polish was used among non‐Jews as well as for most communication between Jewish and non‐Jewish townspeople, while Yiddish was the everyday language of the town's Jewish inhabitants.
