Jews began to settle in Trzemeszno at the turn of the nineteenth century and had been living there until the autumn of 1939. Their history is still little known and needs a lot of research. An approach will be sought, and hopefully answers to many yet unsolved problems will be found.
The date of the cemetery’s opening — most probably already in the beginning of the nineteenth century — remains unknown. During the Second World War the cemetery was desecrated. For the time being, restoration work is in progress. The history of the cemetery will be presented here, together with pictures of gravestones that survived destruction and with biographical sketches of the individuals who were buried there.
