The cemetery is located about two kilometers east of the village center in a wooded area. It is said to have been created in 1838, but the oldest gravestone dates from 1829.

Until 1868, the Jews of Geldern also buried their dead here. The last to be buried here was Moritz Lebenstein in 1931.

Today there are still 25 gravestones in the cemetery, some of them very weathered.

Somewhat outside the city, directly on the Daugava River, lies the Jewish cemetery of Kraslava. The entrance gate is locked, the walled enclosure is largely preserved. You can get the key from the city administration and thus visit the cemetery. The area is large, the front part is neat and well-kept, in the back part there are many older graves in the thicket. The association LOT e.V. has worked here in the years 2018/2019 for 10 days each with volunteers and still not in the approach the entire cemetery to process and document (see "Related links").

Just outside the village of Vishki in Latgale, the Jewish cemetery is located in a field, adjacent to Lake Dubna.
