Bródno Jewish Cemetery

Jüdischer Friedhof is a historic burial ground in the Bródno district with thousands of graves and stone monuments. The grounds feature various sections with burial sites that span from its earliest years to more recent times.

This burial ground was established in 1780 and became the primary cemetery for Warsaw's Jewish community. During World War II, it became a repository for victims and remains a witness to that period.

Burial practices here reflect Jewish traditions with stone markers and inscriptions that tell stories of families and generations. Walking through reveals how the community honored its members through placement, design, and ritual remembrance.

The site can be reached through the main entrance on Odrowąża Street, and visitors should wear sturdy shoes as pathways can be uneven. An on-site exhibition provides context about the layout and helps visitors understand the space better.

The cemetery contains graves of resistance fighters, including the final commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, marking crucial moments of Jewish resistance. These burials are often overlooked by visitors despite their importance to understanding that era.
