Historical overview

According to historian Mrs. Marta Švoliková (state archive of Nitra), the empty part of the cemetery is extra land, bought next to Levice cemetery as it was slowly running out of space. Unfortunately most of the residents for whom this land was acquired were murdered during WW2 so this land was not used. It is now part of the main Levice Jewish cemetery and its area is fenced as part of main cemetery.
