Almost all of the Cemetery is now covered by wooded areas and some private riverside houses. No trace of the Cemetery remains. stablished in the second half of the 19th century on Jeziorna Street NW of the city center near the lake, the 2.5 hectare site is shaped as a trapezoid. In 1931, the cemetery land was valued at 20,000 zlotys. The Nazis destroyed cemetery during WWII leaving fragments of grave foundations and matzevot in a partly wooded and neglected location.
