Overcrowding at the old Jewish cemetery led circa 1932 to creation of this new cemetery of several acres and mausoleums and a Modern-style funeral parlor designed by Adolf Siodmak.
During the Nazi occupation in World War II, nearly all tombstones were stolen for use as road-pavement. The funeral parlor was gutted and used as a stable and pigsty.
After the war, the abandoned remnants continued to deteriorate.
Recently, the site which now belongs to the Jewish Community in Krakow was cleaned up. A memorial stone was erected.
