Jewish Funerary Art  Jewish cemetery in Puńsk, Poland

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the cemetery was established before 1800, about 500 metres northwest of the market square, on a small hill. Its history and original appearance are unknown. It was partially destroyed during World War II. After the war, it was neglected and covered with trees and shrubs. In 2019, the Commune Office cleaned up the cemetery – bushes were cut down, and an information board was erected. The original area of the cemetery (0.7 hectares) is preserved and is shaped like a rectangle. 

The cemetery is fenced with an old concrete wall. The wall is seriously damaged: the southern part, adjacent to Sudawska Street, has been demolished and some blocks of the north-western part are missing.

There are 44 gravestones.
