POLAND, WARSAW: OKOPOWA STREET JEWISH CEMETERY

We continued our Walk through Warsaw alongside these old brick walls that enclose the Okopowa Street Jewish Cemetery, established in 1806. 

Covering 83 acres, it is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in the world. 

A map of the Ghetto and dedication plaque are affixed to the gate.

The cemetery has over 250,000 marked graves and an untold number of unmarked graves. The section closest to the entrance has been more or less restored.
