Historical overview
Jewish Cemetery in Kargowa is located approximately two km from the village marked on the map of the surrounding area from the early 20th century. A small forest contains the remains of the cemetery. Little is known about its history. In the 1930s, the Nazis destroyed this burial place of Unruhstadt Jewish residents. Only a few gravestones with Hebrew inscriptions and the fragments with plant motif ornamentation remain.
