The Buk Jewish Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in the Polish city of Buk (German 1939–43 Buk , 1943–45 Buchenstadt ) in the Poznański Powiat in the Greater Poland Voivodeship .
In 1808, 118 Jews lived in Buk, in 1840 there were 241 and in 1880 there were 266. At the beginning of the 18th century a Jewish community was formed and a synagogue was built between 1846 and 1847 .
The cemetery was probably created around the middle of the 19th century. It is located one and a half kilometers from the city in Wielka Wieś . It was destroyed during the Second World War . After the war, nobody cared about the cemetery, rather the destruction continued. In 1988, thanks to the Nissenbaum family foundation, it was fenced off and restored. However, only a few tombstones have survived.
