About 600 Jews from Jasienica Rosielna, Blizne, Golców, and Domaradz were murdered in the Jewish cemetery, of which there is practically no trace today.
In 1967, the mass grave was marked a monument (ID 51345).
This monument was built nearby in 2015 by the American rabbi Moshe Parnas. This new monument is dedicated to the Parnas family members and all the Jews of Jasienica killed at this site. Adam Bartosz from Tarnów, Poland, coordinated the construction [Activity Report of the Committee for the Protection of Jewish Heritage in Tarnow for 2015 the Care of Jewish Cultural Monuments in Tarnow].
