Summary and Remarks
History
The burials took place at the site at least starting from 1767. Jews outmigrated from the town in the early 20th century and by World War I the synagogue was sold and the community dissolved.
The last burial took place in 1925. In 1939, the cemetery was dismantled.
In 1982, the tombstone was found at the site and moved to the municipal cemetery.
