The earliest known Jewish community was about 1856. The Jewish cemetery was established about 1856 with last burial about 1944. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road is open to all without wall or gate. The size of the cemetery before WWII and now is 0.05 hectare. There are no gravestones or mass graves. The municipality owns property used for recreation, storage, and waste dump. Properties adjacent are residential. Occasionally, local residents visit. The cemetery was vandalized during WWII. Local authorities cleared vegetation. There is no care. There is a pre-burial house. Security, erosion, and vandalism are moderate threats; vegetation and incompatible nearby development are serious threats.
