A reason to pause here
The dated stones and narrow paths ask us to slow down and read carefully. We would arrive with respect for a working cemetery and let its visiting rules guide the photography.
A new burial ground outside Kazimierz
After Austrian authorities closed cemeteries in densely built districts, the Jewish community established this burial ground beyond Kazimierz, on today’s Miodowa Street. Its oldest surviving gravestone dates from 1809. People buried here include painter Maurycy Gottlieb and Kraków deputy mayor Józef Sare.
This is a different site from the sixteenth-century Remuh Cemetery on Szeroka. Both belong to the history of Kraków’s Jewish community, but their dates and locations should be kept separate.
Stay with the names and dates
Our photographs follow the straight avenue and smaller paths among carved stones. We would read a few inscriptions slowly instead of trying to cover every row. Broken fragments and older memorials deserve the same care as more easily legible graves.
Plan the visit
Check current visiting arrangements with the Jewish community before coming, including Jewish holidays and photography requirements. This is a cemetery rather than a public park. Stay on paths, do not move stones or notes, and follow requests about head covering.
- Do not confuse the Miodowa cemetery with Remuh on Szeroka.
- Keep clear of burials and people visiting family graves.
