Historical overview
The Jews of Miłomłyn owned a small cemetery, about 1 km east of the town, on which there were several (8-10) graves. It was founded before 1925, because it is marked on the map of Messtischblatt 1:25 000. Originally it was surrounded by a wall, some of the graves had metal fences. Currently, his relics are still available directly on the right side of the former road to Ostróda. However, the wall was demolished, and the fences and the remains of tombstones were also taken.
