About this cemetery
A new Jewish cemetery was established in Shumen in 1872 because of a cholera outbreak, and it is owned by the Jewish community. It was used from the 1870s until the mid-1960s and contains roughly 650 graves. After the community almost disappeared, the cemetery became the main Jewish remnant in the city.
