Borek Wielkopolski, ul. Lisia Droga, wielkopolskie The cemetery located on an isolated suburban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all with no wall, fence or gate. It’s acreage is 0.25 hectares. Less than 20 gravestones survived with only a few toppled or broken and none in its original location. About 30 gravestones were incorporated into the little house adjacent to the cemetery. The oldest known gravestone belongs to Henriette Worman, 28 Tishri 5640 (1880). The flat-shaped marble and sandstone tombstones with Hebrew and German inscriptions are dated from the 19th-20th centuries. The municipality owns the cemetery property used for agriculture, storage, and garbage dump – that’s why it’s so important to fence the cemetery and clean it up. Within the borders of the cemetery are some farm buildings and a pre-burial house. Adjacent properties are residential and agricultural. Private individuals and local residents visit rarely. The cemetery was devastated during the World War II. Almost all of the gravestones were stolen after the war. |
