Jewish cemetery in Zabrze, Historic Jewish cemetery in Silesian Zabrze, Poland
The cemetery contains numerous tombstones with inscriptions in Hebrew, German, and Polish, reflecting the multicultural character of the Upper Silesian region.
The cemetery was established in 1871 on land donated by Guido Heckel von Donnersmarck, after local Jews previously had to transport their deceased to Bytom.
The burial ground serves as a testament to the Jewish community that grew from 24 members in 1840 to over 1,200 people by 1931.
The cemetery grounds hold important genealogical records and documentation for researchers studying Jewish heritage in the Silesian region of Poland.
The first burial at this cemetery was of a 12-day-old infant named Arthur Ritter, marking the beginning of the Jewish community's permanent presence.
