About this cemetery
Darbenai Jewish Cemetery is the disused cemetery of the town's Jewish community, a state-protected cultural heritage site of regional importance. It was established in the 19th century and in use until June 1941. Jews are thought to have settled in Darbenai in the mid-18th century. The hilly site is enclosed by a concrete wall and retains gravestones with Hebrew inscriptions. For more information, see esjf-cemeteries.org.
