An old Jewish cemetery in Serock the area of the „Narew” Resort - Czerska Str.
The cemetery was established in the 1st half
of the 19th century and destroyed by the
Germans in 1940 with the majority of headstones
used to build a stairway by the Narew
river.
After self-governance was regained, the best preserved matzevah (tombstones) were transported to the area of the “Narew” Resort and placed in the vicinity of the old Jewish cemetery. The oldest preserved piece of headstone dates back to 1824.
Among those buried in the cemetery were Moshe Rozenberg and Fromm Orestein, Jews involved in assisting the January Uprising, supplying the insurgents divisions with weapons, as well as Dvora Rozenberg and Lev Rips who delivered supplies to the hospital for insurgents in Zatory. The cemetery is also the resting place of the long-time rabbi of Serock, a famous scholar Joseph Lewinstein (1840-1924), greatly respected by all Serock inhabitants.
On the 7th of September 1939, in one collective grave the bodies of 52 people who died on 6th September in a German bombing attack while hiding in the cellars of the house of Yakow Rosenberg on the corner of 3 Maja and T. Kościuszki streets were laid to rest.
