Jewish Cemetery, Tarnogród

The Jewish Cemetery (Polish: Cmentarz Żydowski w Tarnogrodzie) in Tarnogród was probably established in 1588.

[1] Located to the east of the synagogue, it covered an area of 1.8 hectares.

During World War II, the Nazi Germans occupying Poland desacrated and destroyed the cemetery.

[2] A few decades after the end of the war, from 1986 until 1990, the cemetery was renovated and partly surrounded by a wall to mark and protect it.

There is a monument to the memory of Poles of Jewish origin from Tarnogród who were murdered by the Germans in 1942.
