Miejsce rzeczywiste - miejsce wyobrażone: nieistniejąca dzielnica żydowska w Lublinie we wspomnieniach mieszkańców
Real place – imagined place: no longer existing Jewish quarter in Lublin as remembered by the inhabitants

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses contemporary narratives relating to the no longer existing Jewish quarter. The processes of remembering and forgetting, as well as recurring constructing of this kind of narratives will be analyzed in relation to the oral history interviews taken by the author in the years 1998–2005 as part of the documentary programme “Oral History of Lublin” run by the “Brama Grodzka – Teatr NN” Centre. The analyses are a starting point for searching the answer to questions about historical, social and cultural determinants of creating (reconstructing) the narrative about the Jewish quarter – as a place in a topographical sense and a symbolic space of cultural otherness.
