I found hidden in the bush [buried?]. They are visible on my website: http://www.shabbat-goy.com/?page_id=3252&preview=true. site translation: The community dates from the second half of the 17th century. In 1973, 13 Jewish families lived in Dobrzyca. In the early 19th century a Mikveh, a house of prayer, and a heder existed. In 1900 22 Jewish families representing 120 people lived there still while in 1845 the 152 Jews were 11% of the population. The Jewish cemetery was probably established during the mid-19th century. The Nazis destroyed it and took its brick wall. The graves were systematically stolen and most likely reused as building materials after WWII.
2011 visit: According to an old map, the Jewish cemetery is located south of the village and formerly surrounded by fields, the site is now partly built with new houses. A brand-new stadium around the site of the old cemetery that still  is difficult to locate even with the old map. I went in this small wooded area amid extremely dense vegetation consisting of shrubs and bushes. Despite the difficulty of access, I could see some fragments of what were the bases on which were set tombstones. On the ground, I find a lot of waste and empty bottles that show that the old cemetery was still accessible after WWII and is/was used more or less as a dump. Dobrzyca represents the epitome of a cemetery; despite having survived the devastation of war, it was simply looted and dismantled after the war. Source: Jacques Lahitte [December 2011]
