  Świdnica, ul. Esperantystów, dolnośląskie

The new Jewish cemetery in Swidnica in Esperantystow St. was established in the 18th century. There are about 10 matzevot left. The cemetery has the area of 0.45 ha. In September 2005, on the initiative of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland, the Middle School students cleaned up the cemetery. The necropolis belongs to the Foundation.

The old Jewish cemetery in Swidnica was located near the road to Strzegom. The tombstones were used as building material. There are only three matzevot left, dated back to 1289, 1362 and 1383. Thanks to the Foundation, they were exhibited in the hall of the Museum of Merchandise in Swidnica.
