Cmentarz żydowski

Unorganized, abandoned, forgotten by the Jewish Community place. In the thicket of bushes you can see individual matzevot. The gate looks closed, but it can be opened.

Jews in Radzyń Podlaski had two burial places. The so-called old Jewish cemetery was located between Zabielska, Cicha and Chomiczewskiego Streets. Icchak Cnaanii Kopeck on the pages of the "Radzynia Memorial Book" described the necropolis in this way: "Behind the fence (.....) stretched an old, abandoned and neglected Jewish cemetery with straight, stone tombstones, there were two graves of the famous dead, erected in the form small buildings ". This cemetery was destroyed, its area was designated for urban development. At the beginning of the 20th century, the local religious commune established the second cemetery, located at ul. Lublin. Previously mentioned Yitzhak Cnaanii Kopeck recalls that "the new cemetery was located about two kilometers from the city, by the road leading to Czemiernik." People who cursed at times used to say: "You should go on the Czemiernica road", meaning the cemetery. " Also this necropolis was desecrated during the Second World War. The process of devastation also lasted in the years of the Polish People's Republic - many tombstones were stolen by thieves and were used as paving slabs or grinding discs. In the first half of the nineties of the twentieth century, thanks to the initiative taken by Pesach Tunkieszszwa and the cooperation of Jews from Radzyń Podlaski and local authorities, the area of ​​the necropolis was ordered and fenced. On August 16, 1995, an obelisk devoted to the victims of the Holocaust was unveiled in the cemetery. A Star of David and an inscription in Hebrew, Polish and English have been engraved on a vertical, stylized on a matzevah, in the following words: "To the eternal memory of the Jews of Radzyń, murdered by the Nazis in 1939-1945. Part of their memory! This cemetery, founded at the beginning of 20- His age, served the Jewish community until 1941 ". To this day, only a few tombstones or their fragments have survived. The area of ​​0.69 ha is well maintained, annually mowed, overgrown with high-growing poplars. In 2008, thanks to the involvement of a resident of one of the nearby villages, a gravestone used after the war as a grinding wheel was brought to the cemetery. The necropolis is directly adjacent to the municipal cemetery. People who want to visit it should follow the signs of the city center towards the Parczew. Both cemeteries are located outside the city buildings, about 300-400 meters after the intersection of Wisznicka and Lubelska streets, on the left side of the road.

Slightly neglected, overgrown. Inscriptions in places legible.
