The earliest known Jewish Community was 1761, maybe as early as 1677. 1921 Jewish population was 616 (51.9%). The unlandmarked cemetery was established prior to 1761 with last known Conservative burial in 1942. The isolated rural flat land has no sign or marker. It is open to all with no wall, fence, or gate. The present size of the cemetery is 1 ha. No stones are visible. Stones from the cemetery were used to build private structures. There are no known mass graves. The municipality owns the cemetery used for agriculture, as are adjacent properties. Private visitors rarely visit. It was vandalized during WWII. There is no maintenance or structures. Security, weather erosion, pollution, and vegetation are moderate threats, vandalism a slight threat.
