Abstract
This article is an attempt to outline the conflict situations in the bosom of the Judenrat in Lublin. Time span covers the period since the establishment of the Council in January 1940 to the end of March 1942, when the number of members has been reduced from 24 to 12 people. Reducing the number of members were directly related to the ongoing operation, „Reinhardt”, aimed at subjecting the biological elimi-nation of the Jewish population. As a result, a significant part of Lublin deportations of Jews to the extermination camp at Bełżec, German authorities decided to limit the composition of the Judenrat. All those councillors who have not entered into a new composition were subjected to extermination. In the article consists of a selection of conflicts, whose task is to illustrate their diversity. They ran on the line: councillors-councillors, but also the councilors-officials of the Judenrat. It can be presumed that their cause was due to different social backgrounds, but also differences in the social or economic position. They usually assume a character argument, but there have sometimes even physical attacks.
