Kirkut

Kirkut is the traditional term for a Jewish cemetery. The section on Górna Street preserves gravestones and macevas from various periods, which tell the story of life, death, and traditions of Łódź's Jewish community. Walking among the graves, you can view Hebrew inscriptions on the stones and learn about the history of individual families who lived in Łódź for generations. This place has educational significance—it helps better understand the diversity of Łódź before World War II. The cemetery is accessible to visitors interested in the city's history, Jewish traditions, or genealogy. If you plan a visit, it's worth checking practical information on the Jewish cemeteries website or asking at tourist information points about opening hours and any restrictions.
