New jewish cemetery in Lublin, Jewish cemetery in Walecznych Street, Lublin, Poland

The New Jewish Cemetery spans 2.5 hectares of land, enclosed by a continuous masonry wall with a locking gate north of central Lublin.

Founded in 1829, the cemetery endured severe damage during World War II when numerous gravestones were removed to build the Black Road at Majdanek concentration camp.

The cemetery includes sections from older burial grounds, featuring gravestones with Hebrew and Polish inscriptions alongside sculpted relief decorations from the 1860s onward.

A government-appointed caretaker maintains the cemetery grounds, which remain open for Jewish burials and contain both marked and unmarked mass graves.

The entrance features a mausoleum with a small synagogue housing the Memorial Chamber of Lublin Jews, where prayers occur during visits from Israeli groups.
