The earliest known Jewish community in Ploty was 1846 when the Jewish cemetery was established. The last known Jewish burial was 1940. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker, no wall, gate, or fence. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. The present size of the cemetery is around 0.16 hectares (the same as before W.W.II.) No gravestones are visible, no known mass graves. Municipality owns site used for residential purposes. Properties adjacent are residential. Local residents visit rarely. The cemetery was vandalized during W.W.II. No maintenance. No structures. Very serious security threat: wall and incompatible nearby development (existing and planned/proposed). Moderate: pollution and vandalism.
