A special committee of the Jewish Social and Cultural Association and the Lublin Jewish community has been formed to restore and guard the 150-year-old Lublin Jewish cemetery.

The cemetery is the site of an obelisk which commemorates the Jews murdered by the Nazis which was erected immediately after the war. More trees are being planted and new fences erected. Substantial allocations for the work have been made by the Polish Government, the Lublin City Council and the National Council for Monuments of the Struggle and Martyrdom. The entire project is scheduled for completion by next spring.
