Jewish cemetery in Muszyna, Poland

Located at Ogrodowa Street, on the outskirts of the town, the Jewish cemetery was probably established at the end of the 19th century. Currently, there are 84 objects on it, most of them are damaged to varying degrees, and some are only partially preserved. Judging by the layout of the cemetery and the arrangement of the existing matzevot, the number of burials in the period up to 1939 could have been 300 or more.
