Przewodnik Krakowski M.Leszczuk (08/31/2020)

Jewish cemetery (Jewish cemetery) from the 19th century, tidied up by Polish and Israeli youth as part of the Antyschematy program in 2007. The present condition only gives the impression of neglect, and is an expression of Judaism's religious imperative: not to disturb the dead, which is often misinterpreted by the uninitiated as neglect. Currently under the care of the Jewish community of Bielsko-Biała (as far as I know). The symbol of the palm tree on the tombstones - vertical tombstones, is a reference to a fragment of the Psalms: the righteous as a palm tree, and the image of a candle or candlestick is placed on women's graves.

The cemetery looks like it has been forgotten for many years. The place needs renovation. It survived two wars, it is a pity that it would be destroyed in our time. A task for both the Commune and local authorities as well as for the Jewish Religious Community in Bielsko, which apparently looks after the cemetery

An atmospheric Jewish cemetery. It could use a renewal, but perhaps it is this growth that gives it its charm.

It is sad to see that the traces of the former ethnic diversity of the municipality are in such an advanced state of decay. I have the impression that the authorities would most likely see the cemetery area surrounded by a high fence, swept under the carpet.

The cemetery was located at today's street Park. Both before 1939 and today it is already the area of the village of Łazieniec. He did not stand at the intersection of ul. Parkowa and Wspólna, where a commemorative plaque was placed, and it began about 30 m. Parkowa and probably ended in wasteland at ul. park, visible northeast of the farmland. From the north, east and west, it was adjacent to arable fields or wastelands, and from the west with a road leading to the then village of Halinowo (today part of Łazieniec). Today, the cemetery area is completely in the cultivated field. Apparently, the part of the escarpment on which the cemetery was located was liquidated in connection with the widening of ul. Parkowa in the 1990s.
