Historical overview
The exact period of the cemetery establishment is unknown. But since it appears on Russian topographic maps of 1880s it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged in the 19th century. Later, in 1939 it appears on Polish maps. Most of the cemetery was destroyed in the 50s of the 20th century.
