Jewish Cemetery
Close to the Old Powazki there is one of the biggest Jewish cemeteries in the world. Established in 1809, it did not suffer much damage during the world war II, but the Nazis destroyed all burial records. Today, on the area of ca 33 hectars there are graves and tombs of a quarter of a million people, among then many religious leaders and other people of great importance to the Jewish community.
The Cemetry is closed on Saturdays and on Jewish holidays; since it is in function, men who visit the area should cover their heads. Admission: 4 pln.
