Historical overview
The Cemetery sits behind a private house, and I was granted permission to take photographs.
Established in 1900, the cemetery is located in the village of Karolin in the forest on a small hill about five hundred meters from the Osięciny-Włocławek road, the cemetery was destroyed by the Nazis with gravestones used pavements. The ground is sandy that was taken by the Germans for construction. Even after the war, some matzevot and the cemetery wall remained, but no trace remains today.
