Dubienka - Jewish cemetery

Jewish cemetery (Piaski Street)- It was probably established between 1589 and 1606.During World War II, mass executions were carried out on its grounds. After the war, part of the cemetery was built over, and no matzevot remain.A symbolic tombstone with an epitaph was erected at the site of the alleged burial of Tzadik Uri Fajwel (d. 1806). In 2005-2006, on the initiative of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland, with the support of the Heritage Foundation for Preservation of Jewish Cemeteries, part of the cemetery was fenced and cleaned up.
