Okopowa Street Jewish Cemetery

A beautiful and poignant place to visit, this is Warsaw's only active Jewish cemetery. Established in 1806 beyond the city trenches ('okopy,' where today's Okopowa Street runs), the cemetery houses some 200,000 tombs and is the final resting place of many generations of Varsovian Jews, including Ludwik Zamenhof, inventor of the international language Esperanto.
