The earliest known Jewish community was in 1860 (or 1877). 1921 Jewish population was 306 (10%). The Orthodox and Conservative Jewish cemetery was established in the 18th century with last known Jewish burial in 1942. The isolated urban flat land has no sign or marker. No wall, gate, or fence surround. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. The cemetery is now approximately 0.5. No gravestones are visible. The cemetery contains no special memorial monuments or known mass graves. The municipality currently owns the cemetery property used only as a Jewish cemetery. Properties adjacent are agricultural and residential. Private Jewish visitors visit rarely. The cemetery was vandalized during W.W.II, but not in the last ten years. No maintenance. There are no structures. Slight threats only.
