The New Jüdische Friedhof Údlice is located on the northern edge of the village of Eidlitz/Údlice. It was founded in 1864, not long after the old Jewish cemetery was closed. The cemetery area has a total area of 2,634 square meters. Today, only around 16 gravestones have been preserved.
The Jewish cemetery was destroyed in 1938 under the Henlein movement and during the Second World War under the German Nazi regime. Some of the cemetery's gravestones were cut up and used as paving stones in Prague (ul. Na príkopě).
At the end of the Second World War, 57 prisoners of the death march were buried in a mass grave in the Jüdische Friedhof Eidlitz cemetery, which was destroyed by the Nazis on the night of April 17-18, 1945. It was probably on its way from Buchenwald via Hora Sv. Sebestián to Postoloprty - Terezín - Leitmeritz. On May 12, 1946, the remains were exhumed for the purpose of a coroner's inquest; none of the victims could be identified. 23 remains of the concentration camp prisoners from the death march remained in Nezablice, while the other 34 exhumed bodies were transferred to Nezablice.
During and after the Second World War, it was destroyed. A memorial erected for the Russian army and victims of the Holocaust no longer exists.
The cemetery, which is surrounded by a quarry wall, is not freely accessible.
