The Jewish cemetery in Niezdrowice is a small necropolis covering approximately 0.5 hectare, located in a forest, about 1 km from the asphalt road to Kedzierzyna-Koźle.
It was established in 1822, and the last known burial took place on May 6, 1881. During World War II, the necropolis was destroyed by the Germans. Currently, approximately 30 macevy have been preserved, mostly overturned or damaged. The oldest comes from February 19, 1822, and commemorates Chava, daughter of Moses. The inscriptions were made in German and Hebrew.
Today, no remains of fencing and gates have been preserved. Despite the destruction, this place represents a valuable trace of the Jewish community's presence in the region. The necropolis, though neglected, recalls the history of the local area and the difficult memory of 19th- and 20th-century residents of Niezdrowice. The preserved macevy now allow for the reconstruction of names and burial dates and serve as a reference point for genealogical and historical research.
