About this cemetery
The Jewish cemetery in Krosno was founded in the second half of the 19th century, probably between 1860 and 1870, on a hillside in the Zawodzie district. Its burials are laid out in rows with separate men's and women's sections. In 1946 survivors from Krosno placed some matzevot there. It is the only lasting trace of the town's Jewish community and is among the best-kept Jewish cemeteries in Poland.
