The earliest known Jewish community was about 1700. 1921 Jewish population was 21. The Progressive/Reform community probably used the unlandmarked cemetery. The isolated suburban flat land has no sign. Reached by turning off a dirt road, access is open to all with no fence or gate. The size of the cemetery before WWII and now is about 0.13 ha. No gravestones are visible but one stone with Hebrew inscriptions was found near the monument to the victims of WWII at Gostyuska St. There are no known mass graves or structures. The unvisited cemetery is currently used for agriculture, as are adjacent areas. It was vandalized during WWII. There is no maintenance. No threats.
