Jewish Cemetery

Oleszyce, Poland

The old Jewish cemetery in Oleszyce was established in the 18th century.
After the 2nd WW it was neglected and now is totally overgrown with bushes, the gravestones are seen only in winter time or early spring.

This makes me sad.......they should never have been left like this! My first stop in Poland is to clean up this place, to make it look better and maybe add some flowers. Respect is what these folks deserve even in death.
