Partially renovated by the Polish Nissenbaum Foundation, the cemetery is listed as a registered monument and is closed for burial. The cemetery hit the international news some years back when some of the stones were vandalised by a Gdańsk protest group claiming to be anti-facist and against Israeli policy in Palestine. A hastily prepared banner was placed by Sopot residents apologising for the attack. Find it on the left going up the hill, immediately after the large Catholic Cemetery.
