The scale of the cemetery is impressive and a sober reminder of history. You can easily walk around here for hours. The woods make the cemetery a magical place. There is not a lot of information available and the paths often end it may therefore be a suggestion to bring a good guide book
Huge place with some very exquisite tombstones & cripts. Countless still ruddled with bullet holes for the second World War. Many have been taken over by the plant life or simply crumbled through time. Its a shame more money is not put in for the foundations to repair quicker. Also a shame where some trees have been cut down and fallen on gravestones. Very saddening sight
A huge cemetery with thousands of graves,
Proof of the size of the Jewish community that had existed in Warsaw throughout the last century
It is impressive to see ancient tombs, if you look for good you will see tombs from before 2 centuries
Every Israeli tourist in Warsaw must visit the Jewish cemetery to understand what Polish Jewry was before the German-Nazi invasion to Poland that brought the Holocaust to the Jewish people.
Such an historic place, you have to take a look if you come to Warsaw.
Takes your breath away, the size is enormous, just come to show you the rich history of the Jews in Poland before the Holocaust.
A place that's tell you the true scale of the horror of the nazis towards Jews. It's a great place as most of it is still wild and not looked after. It's a sad reminded of the ethnic cleansing of the past.
Significant amount of Kevorim! It's huge!
So many great people buried here. Not very easy to get to all of them or even see who's who, but there are many that are accessible and reachable.
Wish it would be taken care of a bit better, and perhaps there would be a good directory of where to find someone. (This issue exists in most larger cemeteries)
