The Holocaust Memorial in Lublin (Template:Lang-pl) commemorates the Jewish inhabitants of the city who perished 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, to free space in order to build an underground parking lot . After protests from the Jewish community in Poland it was decided that the monument will be moved to a temporary location while construction is carried out, and then afterwards will be returned to its original location . The move was carried out and since January 2007 the monument is standing on Niecała street . Construction is expected to tak 3 years, so the monument will be returned around 2010 .
