Świnoujście New Jewish Cemetery

The new Jewish cemetery in Świnoujście was established around 1875 as the first burial place between Heysestraße (currently Wyspiańskiego Street) and Friedensstraße (now Chopina Street) was filled. The cemetery was established on a plot similar to a parallelogram, located south-west of the intersection of Kurparkstrasse (currently Sienkiewicza Street) and Justus-v.-Liebig-Strasse (today, alleys connecting Sienkiewicza and Matejki Streets). In 1928, the remains exhumed from the old cemetery were placed there. It is known that a funeral house was built later.
The cemetery was devastated during Kristallnacht in 1938. There is no detailed information about the fate of the building during World War II and in subsequent years. There are no remaining tombstones within it and the area is overgrown with trees.
The cemetery is entered in the Municipal Register of Monuments.

In 1875, the local magistrate proposed to the Jewish community to move the Jewish cemetery, located next to the Protestant cemetery, further from the city centre, to the area at Kurparkstrasse (now at the intersection of Sienkiewicza and Moniuszki streets). The community willingly accepted the new area, as the small area of ​​the old cemetery was becoming insufficient, especially since the number of Jewish inhabitants was constantly growing – at the beginning of the 1870s, there were 72 Jews, and in 1905 – already 122. The new necropolis was much larger than the old one. A funeral home was also built in the new cemetery. During Kristallnacht (November 9-10, 1938) the cemetery was completely devastated by the Nazis and the funeral house was burned down. Currently, the cemetery area is part of the municipal park.
