Lubartworld
@lubartworld
This project proposes to study the relations between migration and Holocaust from the 1920's to the 1950's, from Lubartów to the world. About the project:
For each journey, discover the people involved, and learn more about their name changes, their trajectories, and their destinies...
Visualizing Lubartworld is expanding: you can now find over 400 biographical entries! 🧵🤩
Visualizing Lubartworld is now available in five languages! 🧵 In French...
On the lists of deportees from Mechelen transit camp, she appears as born uin "Lubatow".
On June 29 1948, a “notification of departure of a foreigner” form is completed by the city of Antwerp, indicating that the place of departure is “unknown” (onbekend): they are therefore struck off the city’s population register. In this Belgian police archive, Feiga is said to be born in “Lubaton“.
Feiga and her husband Salomon would also have passed through the Netherlands, as they are recorded in a population register in The Hague in 1913.
Lubartów, really? Not so sure… Place names in history can be a problem. Fejga Nathanson is a case in point. She did arrive in Antwerp in 1912, but declared her place of birth as “Lubatöw”, specifying “Brody, Galicia”, which would indicate that she did not come from Lubartów in the Lublin region.

How can we combine the history of the Holocaust with the history of migrations? More on visualizing-lubartworld.org !
Enfin, 3️⃣ comment rendre compte des destinations de migrations des habitant·es de Lubartów des années 1900 aux années 1960 ? Nous présentons ici les différents « âges » de l’émigration lubartówienne vers le reste du monde.
Ensuite : 2️⃣ Le temps de la disparition : Lubartów dans la Shoah. Comment les Juif·ves de Lubartów font-ils et elles face à la persécution, des campagnes anti-juives, puis des rafles, des déportations et de la Shoah ?
Trois fils directeurs : 1️⃣ Un portrait social d’une ville polonaise composée pour moitié de Juif·ves, à l’aube des années 30 : qui vit à côté de qui ? Comment s’organisent les réseaux de parenté ? À quel type de ségrégation a-t-on affaire ?
Qui, parmi eux, reste ? Comment s’articulent les choix de départ et de destinations au fil des guerres, des persécutions et des politiques migratoires internationales ? « Vizualizing Lubartworld » répond à toutes ces questions, en anglais, par un outil d’humanités numériques accessible à tous·tes 🖥️.
Finally, 3️⃣ how can we account for the migration destinations of Lubartów's inhabitants from the 1900s to the 1960s? We present the different “eras” of emigration from Lubartów to the rest of the world.
Then: 2️⃣ The time of disappearance: Lubartów in the Holocaust. How did Lubartów's Jews cope with persecution, anti-Jewish campaigns, roundups, deportations and the Holocaust?
Three main threads: 1️⃣ First, a social portrait of a Polish town half of which is Jewish, at the dawn of the 1930s: who lives next to whom? How were kinship networks organized? What kind of segregation are we dealing with?
Who stays behind? How are decisions to leave—and where to go—shaped over time by war, persecution, and international migration policies? "Visualizing Lubartworld" explores these questions through a digital humanities tool accessible to all 🖥️.
