The Jewish Cemetery in Focsani, still functioning today, is on the way to the small forest. It was established in 1874. More than 3245 dead are buried in 50 rows of single and family graves for two, three or four dead. Earthquakes have damaged many of the tombstones. The tombstone inscriptions may be in German, Hebrew, and/or Romanian. The newer generations of the Jewish Community are buried in this cemetery. There are a few ancient tombstones, over 120 years old. A monument has been erected at the gates of the cemetery to honor the Jewish heroes who died in action in World War I.
