Jewish Cemetery in the Bródno district, 15 Św. Wincentego Street

The first known burial took place in this cemetery in 1743. The existence of the cemetery was legalized in 1780, when King Stanislaw Poniatowski leased the sandy area to the influential businessman Szmul Zbytkower. Unlike the Okopowa cemetery, the Bródno cemetery was a burial place for the poorer part of Warsaw's Jewish community. It is the largest Jewish cemetery in Poland in terms of the number of buried and one of the largest in the world in this regard, with some 250,000 people buried there. The cemetery features a Bejt Almin exhibition on the untold history of the cemetery and the Jewish funerary tradition.
