1.Only part of this cemetery survives. It was destroyed in the war, and roughly thirty matzevos and fragments of the old cemetery wall are all that remain of a burial ground that probably dates to the 17th century.
2.Her kever is the one thing that stands out: a small tomb at the centre of the ground, enclosed by an iron railing, and it has long been a place chassidim come to daven.
3.The cemetery is on ul. Parkowa, just south of the town square, on the site of the old town fortifications. It is a short walk from the middle of Frysztak.
4.There is no caretaker and no gate attendant. Confirm the exact location and access locally before you set out.
