The cemetery in Częstochowa is one of the largest in Poland, which was established in 1808. It occupied an area of about 8.5 hours, and after the war 2.5 hours it was annexed by a nearby steel plant. At present, the cemetery is mostly covered with forests, and it bears traces of devastation and destruction made both by the Germans during the war and in the post-war years.
At the Jewish cemetery in Częstochowa, there are about 4,000 tombstones with both Hebrew and Polish inscriptions. Apart from typical matzevot, there are tombstones of rare forms, such as: aediculae, columns, obelisks, sarcophagus and canopy tombs.
