The Jewish cemetery in Radomsko (196 Przedborska Street) was established in 1816. During the Second World War the cemetery was devastated by the Germans. In 1940-1943 the Nazis shot over 1500 Jews in this cemetery.

About 3000 gravestones have been preserved, the oldest of which dates back to 1831 and covers the area of 2.5 ha .A few graves have their own cast iron fencing. The gravestones bear inscriptions in Hebrew. Noteworthy is the ohel of the following tzaddiks: Salomon kohen Rabinowicz (1803-1866), Cwi Meira kohen Rabinowicz (died in1902), Abraham Isachar Dow kohen Rabinowicz (died in 1892), Ezechiel kohen Rabinowicz (died in1910), Salomon kohen Rabinowicz (died in 1907), and Mojżesz Elimelech kohen Rabinowicz (died in 1891).

On the common grave of Jews shot by Nazis there is a commemorative plate.

In 2002 the youth from Poland and Israel cleaned the cemetery within the framework of ”Antyschematy” project. The cleaning work was concentrated on cutting out the bushes which hindered the access to the matzevot. The project was continued in the following years.
