TUSZYN
 
Jewish cemetery in Tuszyn is located in the district called "Tuszyn-Las" by 3 Maja Street. The older residents refer to the cemetery as "kirchol". At the end of 2011 one of very few Holocaust survivors from Tuszyn, Mr. Chaim Fuks sent us two old photos, taken in the cemetery at the end of the 30s. Photos show polychromed matzevot made of sandstone and a lane of trees in the background. The posing woman from the photos was killed in Treblinka a few years later.

The cemetery was destroyed during the World War II. Today, the area is occupied by a holiday resort. Some of the gravestones can be found in different parts of the city. Below, photos of some matzevot are shown. These gravestones were from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and were made from sandstone, which preserved traces of polychromy.

We look forward to receiving any information about Jews from Tuszyn and their cemetery.
We are also awaiting more information from people who remember the cemetery from times before World War II..
