The earliest known Jewish community was 1754. 1921 Jewish population was 780, 39.6%. The Conservative Jewish cemetery was established prior to 1754. The last known Jewish burial was in 1942. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker. No wall, fence, or gate surrounds. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. The present size of the cemetery is 0.5 hectares. No tombstones are visible. No known mass graves. Municipality owns site used for waste dumping. Properties adjacent are commercial. Compared to 1939, the cemetery boundaries enclose a smaller area, reduced by commercial development. Private Jewish visitors visit rarely. The cemetery was vandalized during W.W.II. No care or structures. Very serious threats: vandalism and incompatible nearby developments (existing, planned, and proposed). Serious security, water erosion, pollution, and vegetation threats face the cemetery.
