The earliest known Jewish community was 19th century. The Orthodox Jewish cemetery was probably established in the first quarter of the 19th century. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. A continuous fence with no gate surrounds. No gravestones are visible. Vegetation overgrowth is a constant problem. The municipality owns the cemetery property used for waste dumping. Properties adjacent are recreational. Rarely, local residents visit. It was vandalized during World War II, but not in the last ten years.
