Historical overview
The first documentation of Jews from Ośna Lubuskiego (Drossen) was in 1430, but a permanent Jewish settlement dated from at least 1731 when a cemetery and synagogue existed. In 1933, 28 Jews lived there. During the Kristallnacht in 1938, five Jews were arrested. The fate of the remainder is unknown. Today, a converted synagogue on ulic Strażniczej and the cemetery on the northeastern side of Lake Reczynek remain. According to the website of the City of Ośna, the cemetery was established in 1850, contrary to information supplied to the project.
