Complete profile

The Jewish cemetery in Obrzycko is located opposite the property at 5 Stawna Street and is probably identical to the cemetery in its historical boundaries.

It was established in 1755 after the new Jewish community had received the appropriate permission from the church. During the German occupation in the Second World War, it was completely destroyed and most of the gravestones were used to pave the streets. In the post-war period, there was an unincorporated area without gravestones that was used for dances.

The Jewish cemetery, located outside the fortress walls of Terezín, was created shortly after the establishment of the ghetto and concentration camp on a site where Soviet soldiers had been buried after the First World War. Initially, the deceased Jews were buried in individual graves before the prisoners had to dig mass graves due to the high mortality rate caused by the terrible camp conditions.
