It was devastated during and after World War II. In 1987, the cemetery became the point of interest of the Nissenbaum Family Fund. Its renovation was completed in 1988. During this time, many gravestones with inscriptions in Hebrew, Polish, German and Russian were discovered, the fence was fixed and the original gate with the Hebrew inscription “This is the Gate to God” was renovated.
