Ciechanów

You might know the town as Ciechanów in Polish or טשעכאנאוו in Yiddish. Before WWII, it was home to a large Jewish community, but during the war most were murdered. The cemetery at Sienkiewicza street was devastated during and after the War. Additional information about the cemetery can be found here. Read about our new information plaque and boundary markers installed in 2025 here and here.

​Additonal information about the town and Jewish community of Ciechanów are also available at this JRI-Poland cadastral map and this German-made 1940 video.

Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland is raising money to support the work of FODŻ (the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland) in carrying out this restoration and protecting this site.
