After 1929 he returned to Warsaw. He was very active in the inter-war years and had many exhibitions, including at Warsaw’s Zacheta in 1920. During the German occupation of Poland he joined the Armia Krajowa - Home Army resistance and took part in the Warsaw Uprising, following which he was incarcerated in a Nazi German concentration camp.
After the war he settled and worked in England.
He created many sculptures for public buildings and churches, perhaps his best known being the Polish War Memorial at Northolt Aerodrome, west London, unveiled in 1948. He is buried in Brookwood Cemetery, Brookwood, Surrey, England.
The monument Lubelski designed for the grave of L.L. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, still stands in the Warsaw Jewish Cemetery. And the sculptor appears as a very minor character in the novel A Curable Romantic (2010) by Joseph Skibell.
