The Jewish cemetery in Dębowa was established at the beginning of the 19th century as a resting place for the Jewish community from Kędzierzyn-Koźle and the surrounding towns until the Nazi era. Previously, the Jews of Koźle buried their dead, among other places, at the Jewish cemetery in Biała. In 1933, the Nazis closed the cemetery, which in 1939 became the property of the Association of Jews in Germany. After World War II, the necropolis fell into oblivion. To this day, only fragments of 5 broken tombstones have survived on it, displaying visible inscriptions in Hebrew and German. Currently, the cemetery area is cleaned up and fenced. Practical information: The cemetery can be visited by arrangement with the vogt of Reńska Wieś or on the Day of Judaism (January). Free admission. Sightseeing time: 1 hour. Parking spaces by the cemetery.
