History/Provenance
According to Survey of Historic Jewish Sites in Bosnia-Herzegovina, "The Jewish Cemetery was founded in 1762. It is outside of town, on the slope of one of the surrounding hills, bordering the Catholic cemetery. There are some 250-300 tombstones. It is quite overgrown with vegetation. In the center of the plot is a monument for those who perished in the Holocaust. It is a simple cubical concrete pedestal, on which are positioned three tombstones, possibly among the oldest ones. Tomb inscriptions are in Hebrew and Ladino." [Gruber, 2011, p. 39]
