In brief in Lublin
The city of Lublin was first mentioned in 13th century. It reached its "golden age" in 16th century, when - due to its central location between Cracow (capital of Poland) and Vilinus (capital of Lithuania) - it was chosen as the place, where the Union of Lublin was signed, effectively uniting those two states for several centuries. Due to its location at a crossroads between the rest of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia, the city was always a melting pot of different cultures - an important center of Judaism as well as of the Christian reformation movement. From 17th century onwards, together with the rest of the country, it suffered a gradual decline. During World War II the Jewish and Polish populations suffered heavy losses, a Nazi concentration camp (Majdanek) was located here. After the war, the city developed to be an important university site, with 6 state universities and a number of smaller ones.
