Lipno Jewish Cemetery

The first known mention of the cemetery was in 1736 that the cemetery was always in that same place. The Documentation Department of Historical Monuments in the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw held an 1830 map that marked two Jewish cemeteries. The first of these referenced on the map as "dawniejszy" was located at ul. Ceres, the current ul. Sierakowski and known. On the southwest of the map is "Jewish children taken to the cemetery, a, b, c, d, and ... land including the road leading to this cemetery." That is unknown but may have been contemplated at the time. The size of the ulica Sierakowskiego cemetery probably was expanded over time. The Nazis destroyed the cemetery in 1939 by dismantling the fence and using the memorial monuments for pavements. In the first years after liberation, the cemetery was a pasture. Older residents recall human bones found after the war. In 1953 the Bureau of the National Council of the City in Lipno took the cemetery for construction of the District Animal facility without appropriate legal procedures. two years later, in a confidential letter to the Department of Religious Affairs in Bydgoszcz, local authorities requested the formal closure of the cemetery.
