Historical overview
There is no physical trace of the Cemetery, and a local member of the village council informed me that they know of no Matzevot anywhere. Established by lease of land in the about January 1819 in the valley of the Vistula River, south of the village, now ul. Narutowicza, surviving pictures from the 1930s show that it had a and wall. From the Vistula were two buildings, one for the caretaker/gravedigger. Gravestones faced east. Dominated by traditional, simple gravestones with triangular tops, some gravestones were columns and obelisks. The Nazis directed the destruction of the cemetery. They took all the marble tombstones and the fence and demolished a house.
