The earliest known Jewish community was around 1850 (possibly in 1844). The Jewish population as of the last census before WWII was 1800 to 2000. The Jewish cemetery was established about 1860 or possibly in 1876 with last known Jewish burial around 1940. Communities around Gryfino used this unlandmarked cemetery. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker. Access, directly off a public road, is open to all with no wall, fence, or gate. The approximate size of the cemetery before WWII and now is approximately 0.12 ha. No stones remain. There are no known mass graves or structures. The municipality owns the cemetery used for recreation (park, playground, and sports field), storage, and waste dumping. Properties adjacent are residential. Rarely (?) private visitors (?) and local residents visit. The cemetery was vandalized during World War II, but not in the last ten years. No maintenance or care. Vegetation overgrowth is a seasonal problem, preventing access.
