The necropolis existed at least from 1854. It was established in the south of the town, at the intersection of field roads, of which one is an extension of today’s Parkowa Street, and the other runs from the necropolis towards the east and the River Pisa [[re:| Geographic coordinates: 53.618915377048914 N and 21.800177336263005 E.]]. The rectangle area of the Jewish cemetery of the area of approximately 0.4 ha was surrounded by a permanent fence fixed on metal posts.
The cemetery was devastated during the times of National Socialism. Until the mid-1990s in the centre of the cemetery there was the last matzeva of Leiser Radinowski bearing an inscription in Hebrew and German: “Hier ruht in Gott mein lieber Mann, unser guter unvergesslicher Vater Leiser Radinowski, geb. 13 Aug. 1850, gest. 20 Sept. 1926” (Here lies in God my beloved husband, our dear and unforgettable father, Leiser Radinowski, born on August 13, 1850 and died on September 20, 1926). It “disappeared” in unexplained circumstances [[re:|A. Kossert, Zarys historii gminy żydowskiej w Piszu, “Znad Pisy” (An Outline History of the Pisz Kehilla, “From the Pisa Region”), No. 8, 1999, p. 64.]]. Up till now, in the southern part of the cemetery, relics of 5 burials (matzevot foundations) have been preserved. Among the exhibits collected in the Museum of Pisz Land in Pisz, there are fragments of one matzeva [[re:|See section: “Judaica in museums”.]].
At present, several aged trees grow in the area of the cemetery (such as oaks, pines, thujas and lilac bushes). Recently tidying up works have been carried out, including cutting out a number of bushes.
