CEMETERY: On ul. Koszalinska next to the Team Schools, the 19th 1.26 ha cemetery was destroyed by the Nazis with devastation continuing after liberation. A few years ago, human remains were found which stopped the digging for the school. Jewish representatives buried human remains buried in a wooden box in an unmarked location. [June 2009]
