Jewish Cemetery

This beautiful cemetery, located near the Powązki necropolis was established in 1806. Most of rich and famous Jews were buried here.

The ceremony was conducted with respect to tradition e.g. married were not buried together with singles. Marble and sandstone tombstones called masebas reveal delicately carved symbols and ornaments under the ivy and undergrowth

One may find many graveyards of famous Jews, as Zamenhoff - the author of Esperanto language, and the symbolic grave of Janusz Korczak, a writer and pedagogue who died in the gas chambers with a group of Jewish orphans for whom he was caring. Please enter with your head covered.
