Jewish Cemetery in Kłobuck

The Jewish cemetery in Kłobuck lies in the eastern part of the town, on Sadowa Street. It was established in the first half of the 19th century, covers 0.76 ha and is unfenced.

History and present state

During the Second World War the cemetery was completely devastated by the Germans. One matzevah survives. In 2018 clearance work was carried out on the site: shrubs and some of the trees were cut down, the ground was cleaned up, and a metal post was placed next to the matzevah to make it easier to find. On Sadowa Street there is a signpost reading “Cmentarz Żydowski” (Jewish Cemetery). The cemetery is entered in the municipal register of monuments of the Kłobuck municipality.

The place is a quiet trace of the town's former Jewish community. Nearby is the Market Square in Kłobuck.
