Jewish cemetery in Tarnów, Jewish cemetery in Tarnów, Poland.
The cemetery contains over 6000 gravestones across 3.2 hectares, including traditional headstones and ornate monuments with Hebrew inscriptions and religious symbols.
Established in 1583, the cemetery suffered destruction during World War II when Nazi forces used gravestones for road paving and turned the grounds into an execution site.
The cemetery holds graves of prominent rabbis, scholars, and community leaders, with inscriptions and symbols reflecting Jewish burial traditions and religious practices.
Visitors can obtain access keys from the Tourist Information Centre at Rynek 7 by leaving a 50 złoty deposit.
The original 1840s forged iron gates now reside in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.
