Jewish Funerary Art  Jewish cemetery in Przyrów, Poland

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the Jewish cemetery in Przyrów is located about 800 metres southwest of the market square, on the west side of Cmentarna Street, and covers a trapezoid-shaped plot with an area of approximately 0.68 hectares. The cemetery’s establishment date is unknown, though it was probably established in the first half of the 19th century. Its location was not marked on the topographic map from 1839. The cemetery was in use until World War II, at which time it likely began to fall into disrepair. The cemetery has suffered extensive damage. There are two fragments of sandstone stelae in the cemetery: one commemorating Ester, and another which is merely the lower part of a rectangular sandstone slab. The cemetery is unfenced, its borders are imperceptible, and it is unmarked. The area is undeveloped, wooded, and covered with wild vegetation. The facility is listed in the Provincial Register of Monuments.

ESJF team has found one damaged tombstone leaned against a tree. The dates on the stone were illegible.
