Cemetery Description: ODESSA II: US Commission No. UA15010102 The Jewish cemetery was established in 1854 with last known Jewish burial 1940. No other towns or villages used this unlandmarked Hasidic cemetery. The suburban agricultural hill has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. No wall, fence, or gate surrounds the cemetery. No stones are visible or removed. The oldest known gravestone dated from 1854. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. Municipality owns property used for agriculture (crops or animal grazing). Properties adjacent are commercial or industrial, agricultural and residential. The cemetery boundaries are smaller now than 1939 because of agriculture and other. Occasionally, local residents visit. The cemetery was vandalized during World War II. There is no maintenance now. Within the limits of the cemetery are no structures. Water drainage at the cemetery is a seasonal problem. Very serious threat: uncontrolled access, vegetation, vandalism and proposed nearby development. Moderate threat: weather erosion, pollution and existing nearby development. Also called the New Jewish Cemetery, it was established in 1873 and was active until 1950. The cemetery was destroyed in 1978. On its place in 2021 you'll find the Artillery Park.
