Jewish cemetery in Wschowa

The Jewish cemetery in Wschowa (German Fraustadt ), the district town of Powiat Wschowski in the Polish Lubusz Voivodeship , was laid out in the 1760s. The Jewish cemetery is located on Töpferstrasse, today 17 Pułku Ułanów Street.

In 1972 the state closed the cemetery and the tombstones were used to pave Targowa Street. Few tombstone fragments are now in the Wschowa Museum.
