Old Jewish Cemetery in Jelenia Góra

The old Jewish cemetery in Jelenia Góra was located in the area bounded by today's Nowowiejska, Na Skałkach and Studencka streets. It was established around 1820.

Disappearance of the necropolis

The date of the cemetery's liquidation is not known. No gravestone has survived to this day, and the necropolis itself no longer exists - no visible trace of the former cemetery remains on the ground. Materials devoted to the history of Jelenia Góra's Jewish cemeteries mention them in the plural, suggesting the existence of more than one such necropolis in the town, though without further details of the other sites.
