Jewish Cemetery, Jewish cemetery in Powstańców Śląskich district, Wrocław, Poland.
The cemetery grounds extend across 4.6 hectares with approximately 12,000 graves, featuring inscriptions in both German and Hebrew on stone monuments.
Founded in 1856 during Wrocław's German period, the cemetery served as the primary Jewish burial ground until the final interment in 1942.
The gravestones display traditional Jewish symbols including hands for descendants of Aaron, oriental trees for messianic hope, and broken roses for death.
