In 1921, there were no Jews. The size of the unlandmarked Conservative cemetery is about .5 km. [sic] The suburban flat land, separate but near other cemeteries, has no sign or gate. A broken masonry wall, a fragment of the wall continuous to the Catholic cemetery, surrounds it. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. No gravestones are visible. The municipality owns site next to the Catholic cemetery used for waste dumping. It was vandalized during WWII. There is no care or structures. Security and vegetation, a seasonal problem preventing access, are very serious threats. Incompatible planned development of including the area in the Catholic cemetery is a serious threat.
