Coordinates: 54 ° 8 ′ 46 ″ N , 26 ° 12 ′ 23 ″ E
The Vishneva Jewish Cemetery in Vishneva , Minskaya Woblasz in Belarus , is located about two kilometers northwest of the center of the village, about 200 meters west of the two churches. The former cemetery is now a meadow with only a few tombs.
The village of Vishneva is about 90 kilometers (as the crow flies) west-northwest of Minsk and was in what was then the Nowogródek Voivodeship of the (Second) Republic of Poland before the Second World War . It was home to a numerically significant Jewish community. The Israeli President Shimon Peres , who emigrated to Palestine with his family in 1934, was born here . Nahum Goldmann , the founder and longstanding President of the World Jewish Congress , also comes from Vishneva.
