  Kock, lubelskie

Jewish cemetery in Kock was established in second half of 18th century. It is located outside the town, on a little gravel road. First Jews began to settle in Kock in the half of 17th century. In 1829 tzaddik Menachem Mendl Morgensztern settled in the locality  and established his manor there. Basing on this fact the place was established as an important centre of Chassidism. In 1897 Kock was in 64% inhabited by people of Jewish origin. The last burial on the cemetery took place in 1942.  During World War II Germans devastated the cemetery. Today only 10 matzevot are preserved. They are adorned with bass-reliefs and inscriptions in Hebrew. Some of them were made from erratic stones. In 1988-90 the cemetery was renovated. The area was fenced. A new concrete ohel was erected above the grave of tzaddik Menachem Mendl Morgensztern. The area of the cemetery is 2.2 ha. More information:
