What travelers are saying
- EwaCGLondon, United Kingdom10 contributionsWe have a family there so visit often but it is a museum. Full of sculpture and important Polish personalities. Visiting when it is full of candles on All Souls’ Day is magical. If you like cemeteries, and I do, well worth a visit.Written September 3, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert DBrooklyn, New York4,257 contributionsThe Jewish Cemetery is still being used today. There is a small admission fee and men must cover their heads. Take a photo of the map near the entrance and use it to help you navigate.
Near the entrance, they had an exhibit of beautiful tombstones by sculptor Abraham Ostrzega. One must see sight is the mass grave of the Martyrs of the Warsaw Ghetto. Note the many stones placed atop the mass grave on the right side. There are panels in three languages which describe the mass grave.
Near the wall, is a section which uses the headstones damaged by the Nazi invaders.
There are also several monuments there. Be sure to see the monument to Janusz Korczak, a Jewish pediatrician, educator, children's author, and an early children's rights advocate. After spending many years working as a principal of an orphanage in Warsaw, he refused sanctuary repeatedly and stayed with his orphans when the entire population of the institution was sent from the ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp in 1942. The monument shows Karczak with the children he cared for. Very touching.Written August 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert ORotterdam, The Netherlands5,740 contributionsRoman Catholic cemetery close to Wilanowski palace, but not linked to it. The place is special for those who visit dear ones buried here. For an outsider there is little of interest as far as artistic expression is concerned. Most tombstones are kept sober. Here and there an angel or baroque boy. The chapel at the center is of robust design. Interesting to observe Polish people caring for their dead.
On the right hand side next to the entrance is a space where Catholic fighters against Hitler fascism are laid to rest. Young men among them teenagers who gave their lives for the good cause.Written July 8, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
