In the 19th century a Jewish cemetery was opened outside the city, on the edge of the Judenberg. The cemetery, laid out on a rectangular ground plan, had an area of about 0.2 ha. In the former Jewish cemetery there is a fairly well preserved war cemetery for Soviet soldiers.

Today the cemetery is located in the northeastern part of the municipal cemetery, next to the municipal stadium. The old trees of the cemetery have been preserved. (Information from POLIN Virtual Shtetl)
