Rozwadów Parish Cemetery
Rozwadów Parish Cemetery () is a historic cemetery established in 1785 in the southern part of the town of Rozwadów, by the then parish priest, Father Bernard Birkenmajer, on a section of the hill known as Góra Kokosza (now the northern district of Stalowa Wola). It belongs to the Parish of Our Lady of the Scapular. It was the largest cemetery in the region at the time of its establishment and is the oldest burial site for several generations of the deceased from the area, older than notable cemeteries such as Powązki in Warsaw, Lychakiv in Lviv, or Rakowicki in Kraków. It is now situated in the heart of Stalowa Wola. The cemetery is located near the historic 18th-century Capuchin Monastery on Klasztorna Street, as well as the war cemetery from 1914. The main entrance features a neo-Gothic gate from 1923, and the grounds include 19th-century gravestones. The oldest grave, that of Józefa Krupecka, dates back to 1847. There is also an obelisk commemorating the January U ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

These communities, infused with vitality before 1939, were utterly destroyed by the Germans during the Holocaust. During the German occupation of Poland (1939-1945) two Polish doctors, Eugene Lazowski and Proteus OX19, Stanisław Matulewicz created a fake typhoid fever epidemic in Rozwadów: "the quarantined area that Lazowski and Matulewicz created became a haven for Polish Jews, who could hide in Rozwadów under the cover of the fake epidemic without fear of the Nazis discovering them. All told, the doctors saved an estimated 8,000 people from being killed or imprisoned during their three-year campaign with the help o ...

Cemeteries In Stalowa Wola
A cemetery, burial ground, gravesite, graveyard, or a green space called a memorial park or memorial garden, is a place where the remains of many dead people are buried or otherwise entombed.
