Historical overview
At present, the cemetery is closed. We were unable to visit the cemetery. The website of the Jewish Community in Wrocław states that the cemetery is undergoing a major renovation. We were unable to contact anyone from the Jewish Community. There is no telephone number at the cemetery for the person in charge of the cemetery.
In June 2021, the cemetery was vandalized. Perhaps this is the reason why the cemetery is closed to visitors. A similar story happened at the same time at the Jewish cemetery in Bielsko Biała.
