Sunday, Cheshvan 12, 5779. October 21, 2018.

Shalom! World.

Lednice Jewish Cemetery. Mikulovsha Street. Population with no Jews!


Earliest known Jewish community was after 1670. Jewish community ceased in 1890. 1930 Jewish population was 32. The Jewish cemetery originated in 17th century with last known Conservative Jewish burial before 1942. The isolated suburban hillside has no sign. Landmarked: nr. 1378 S.M.) Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all via a broken masonry wall and no  gate. Size of cemetery before and after WWII: 0.1212 ha. 


One walled-up gravestone is in the cemetery. Some stones removed from the cemetery were reburied here and then stolen. The municipallity owns the property used as a park. Adjacent properties are agricultural and residential. Rarely, private visitors stop. Vandalism occured from 1945 on. No maintenance or care. Security (uncontrollled access), weather erosion, pollution, and vegetation are moderate threats. Vegetation overgrowth seasonally prevent access. Vandalism and incompatible nearby development (existing) are slight threats. Incompatible development (planned or proposed) is a serous threat. 

Shalom! Aleichem.
