Borecka Historical Note The history of Lubartów begins on May 29, 1543, when King Sigismund the Old+ allowed local nobleman Piotr Firlej 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. Scope and Content of Collection Contains records of the administrative division of the city of Lubartów, Poland, relating to religious confessions; supervision of churches in the Lubartów area; addresses of Jews and Jewish property in Lubartów; Jewish refugees from the Pomerania and Poznan districts; displacement of the Jews from 2 http://collections.ushmm.org http://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection Lubartów to Ostrów and Parczew; and the imprisonment of all inhabitants of the village Palikije (community of Wojciechowka) in a penal camp.
