Historical overview
The information about the cemetery near the Post Square appears in the context of the synagogue that was located nearby. The website of the Muzeum Ziemi Nadnoteckiej ( http://www.mzntrzcianka.pl/wiesci-z-trzcianeckiego-muzeum-odkrycie-archeologiczne-na-placu-targowym/) and the Virtual Museum of Trzcianka ( https://wirtualnemuzeumtrzcianki.trz.pl/content/dawne-cmentarze-w-dzisiejszej-przestrzeni-trzcianki ) indicate this location as the site of the first Jewish cemetery in Trzcianka. Several residents of Trzcianka with whom we spoke remember that there was a synagogue in the city, but are not sure if there was a cemetery nearby.
