Zamość - residence of the family Eliasz Luxenburg

On March 5, 1871, Rozalia Luxenburg, a Jew, social democrat and revolutionary who later called herself Rosa Luxemburg, was born at 7 Tadeusza Kościuszki Street to Eliasz Luxenburg, a woodworker, and his wife Line, née Löwenstein. Her parents were Jews in the rural-ruled town of Zamość in the part of Poland controlled by tsarist Russia.

A plaque on the supposed birthplace of a Bürgerhaus on Rynek Wielki, which had referred to Rosa Luxemburg since 1979, was removed by order of the right-wing conservative Polish ruling party PiS. Everything that reminds of socialism/communism in the public space is to be removed according to the order of the PiS government.

The Jew and socialist Rosa Luxemburg is considered an imperson by most Poles. She opposed the national liberation of Poland from Prussian and Russian domination during World War I and the subsequent Versailles peace negotiations, because she had a greater goal than the establishment of a nation-state: the Communist International to overcome capitalism and nationalism.

Whether a plaque can find a place in the future at the true birthplace at ul. Tadeusza Kościuszki 7 depends on the owner of this building, who is currently renovating it.
