About this cemetery

The new Jewish cemetery in Nowy Sącz lies on Rybacka Street and covers 3.05 ha. It was founded in the second half of the 19th century because the old kirkut was full, and was enlarged in 1926. It is fenced with a foundation of matzevot. The Germans devastated it during the Second World War and removed most of the matzevot, some of which were reused as paving and building material.
