In Krakow, Poland the memorial in the New Jewish Cemetery consists of uniform gravestones of soldiers who fell, aligned along a path and the wall in a far corner of the cemetery.

Thanks again. I don’t know when it will be, but I would love to get to Poland again and soon.
Okay, thank you. I was on Miodowa St. I wish I had known there was a cemetery there. I would have tried to visit it (if it is, indeed, even open to visits from the public). At least I was able to visit the cemeteries in Warsaw, Lodz, and Sieniawa this year. The cemetery in Sieniawa was very meaningful to me. I stood before my great grandfather’s grave there.
Yes, it is open every day except Saturday & Jewish holidays. It’s at the end of Miodowa through that sort of tunnel. Well maintained, except many of the matzevahs were made out of sandstone and are totally eroded
No, it is nearby on Miodowa st. Founded around 1800 after the Remuh Cemetery was closed.
I assume the New Jewish Cemetery in Krakow is not the same as the cemetery that is attached to the Rema Synagogue?
