The remains of the Jewish cemetery in Nysa are located near the bus terminus at Wojska Polskiego Avenue. The necropolis was established in the first half of the 19th century in the vicinity of the Catholic and Evangelical cemeteries. The last burial took place there in 1928. In 1939, the Jewish cemetery became the property of the Association of Jews in Germany, and then the cemetery was taken over by the Gestapo. During World War II, the Nazis devastated the cemetery. To this day, fragments of about 25 broken tombstones, made of marble, granite, and sandstone, have survived there. On some fragments of shattered stone burial plaques, fragments of typical decorations and inscriptions in Hebrew and German have been preserved.
