Jewish Cemetery, Wiślica

Jewish Cemetery in Wiślica is the cemetery of the Jewish community which lived in Wiślica, Poland, until 1942.^[1] The cemetery was created in the 17th century.^[2] It is located in the northwest part of the village, near the Złota street, on a woody terrain.

The cemetery was destroyed during and after the Second World War. In the 1980s, a narrow asphalt road, linking the Złota street to the village's bypass, was built in the middle of the necropolis. Nowadays, the cemetery contains only a few remains of destroyed graves and one grave with preserved tombstone (mazewa). A few years ago,^[when?] the cemetery was desecrated, as antisemitic and Nazi symbols were painted on the remaining gravestones. The cemetery was restored in 2016.
