Dukla — the Jewish cemetery

Jewish cemetery, Tadeusza Kościuszki, 38-450 Dukla, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland

  • The cemetery is in the southern part of the town, along Tadeusza Kościuszki. It is in two parts — the older from the seventeen hundreds, the newer from after 1870 — and has been a listed monument since 1989.
  • It was devastated by the Germans during the war, so expect a damaged ground rather than a kept one.
  • There are ruins of an ohel beside the cemetery. Sources say it PROBABLY belonged to a tzaddik of the Horowitz family and are explicit that this is not certain, and local testimony rejects the other suggestion that it was a mortuary chapel. Nobody should be told whose it is until somebody knows.
  • SURVEYED COORDINATES, AND THE TOWN'S TWO GROUNDS ARE ALL BUT THE SAME PLACE. ESJF surveyed an old and a new Jewish cemetery here and measured them 59 metres apart, so the map point on this listing serves for both. Old: 49.54813, 21.68392. New: 49.54804, 21.68312.
