© ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, Photographer: ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, 2020
According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the New Jewish cemetery of Dukla was established around 1870 in the area adjacent to the old cemetery. During World War II, the Germans devastated the cemetery. The matzevot were used to regulate the stream in Smereczne and to make stairs to the border guard post.
It is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in terms of area in the Podkarpackie Province.
The cemetery was entered into the register of monuments under the number A-157 on July 28, 1989.
According to sztetl.org, there is a mass grave of 40 Jews shot here by the Germans during World War II.
There is an old and short stone fence, in some places it has been damaged, otherwise it is in good condition. The cemetery has a ruined entrance gate, made of steel. There are about 200 gravestones. Some of the tombstones don't have legible inscriptions with dates, the cemetery has been active since the 1870s, however no tombstones from that era with legible dates have been preserved.
Date of oldest tombstone: 1925
Date of newest tombstone: 1936
Perimeter length: 271 metres
To reach the cemetery, start from Trakt Wegierski street, turn onto Dr. Józefa Samuela Blocha Street and continue until you reach the cemetery.
