According to what I heard, the Jewish cemetery was eliminated by the Communist government in the 1950s. Apparently, it took quite some time until the graveyard was actually destroyed to make place for apartment buildings and a large park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not clear to me, who erected the monument. The name of an artist, Adriena Kutakov\u00e1 and a number of donors are mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the wall shown below is the only remnant of what used to be a Jewish cemetery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
