Zabytkowe macewy ze starego cmentarza żydowskiego w Pilicy
Historical Matzevas from Old Jewish Cemetery in Pilica

Summary/Abstract: The article looks at the fate of matzevas from the old Jewish cemetery in Pilica, probably established shortly after obtaining the requisite privilege in 1620 and used until a new cemetery was opened in 1842. After World War II, part of the matzevas from the devastated old cemetery was used as building material for a residential building. Almost 30 years of efforts to tear down that building and then the ruin that became of it, succeeded in 2018. The texts of the inscriptions from the preserved matzevas, coming from the second half of the 18th century and the early years of the 19th century are published in an annex.
