Jewish Cemetery in Słomniki

The Jewish cemetery in Słomniki was established in 1898 on what is now Niecała street. Wikipedia describes it as a mass grave, and today it is a fenced and tidied place of remembrance of the town's former community.

Fate of the cemetery

As a result of devastation, no original matzevot have survived. In 1998 the necropolis was tidied and fenced thanks to the cooperation of the Association of Jews from Słomniki in Israel, the Nissenbaum Family Foundation and the Town Office in Słomniki.

Monuments

In the central part of the cemetery stand four monuments in the shape of elongated matzevot, commemorating the victims of the Shoah. They bear the names of 230 Jewish families who lived in the town before the Second World War.
