This beautiful cemetery, located next to the Protestant Cemetery and near the Powazki necropolis, was established between 1799 and 1806. Marble and sandstone tombstones called masebas reveal delicately carved symbols and ornaments under the ivy and undergrowth. While walking around, try to find the symbolic grave of Janusz Korczak (1878-1942), a writer and pedagogue who died in the gas chambers of Aushwitz with a group of Jewish orphans for whom he was caring.
