Cmentarze żydowskie w Szczecinie

The cemetery grounds contain numerous gravestones carved from marble, granite, and basalt, displaying traditional Hebrew inscriptions and religious symbols throughout the site.

Established in 1821, the cemetery expanded multiple times until 1917, reaching 21,000 square meters before its closure in 1962 by local authorities.

The cemetery includes graves from 1820 to 1942, reflecting the presence of a substantial Jewish population in Szczecin during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Visitors can access the memorial site at the former cemetery location, while current Jewish burials take place in a designated section of Szczecin's Central Cemetery.

A monument created in 1988 by architect Zbigniew Abrahamowicz incorporates preserved gravestones from the original cemetery, marking the historical burial ground.
