Development work in Lublin unearthed the human remains and evidence suggests that hundreds more bodies could be found. Meir Bulka, who works to preserve Poland’s Jewish heritage, is trying to stop further construction. A mass grave with 25 human skeletons has been recently uncovered at a site in the Polish city of Lublin where hundreds of Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. A team from Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance, or IPN, a governmental body responsible for documenting Nazi crimes, has been at the site for several days and plans to stay longer than the staff originally planned following their initial findings. Historical evidence suggests that the remains of hundreds more people may be found there. The site, called Gorki Czechowskie, is a neglected nature reserve in the eastern Polish city. Meir Bulka, chairman of the J-nerations, an organization dedicated to preserving the country’s Jewish heritage, and a member of the Bar-Ilan University Holocaust center, has found evidence that in March 1942 around 900 Jews were murdered there. Some 640 were killed on the 16th and the rest two days later. The victims had been imprisoned in Lublin Castle, where the Nazis held both Jews and regime opponents.
