Historical overview
In 1921 Jewish population was 55. The unmarked Progressive/Reform Jewish cemetery was established at the beginning of the 19th Century. The Ogardy Jewish community also used the cemetery about 8 km away from the congregation. The isolated urban crown of a hill has no sign or marker. No wall, fence, or gate surrounds. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. The size of the cemetery before W.W.II was about 0.2 hectares. No gravestones are visible. The Orlen Filling Station owns site used for commercial/industrial purposes. Properties adjacent are commercial/industrial.
