The following is extracted from a report by Larry Marks in October of 1997:

The cemetery is about 7 blocks south of the town square, in a field 100 meters east of the Catholic cemetery. No current Jewish population. Caretaker with key: M. BIALAS at ul. Grundwaldzka, 9, 38-250, Rymanow Poland. The gate around it was funded by a Jewish charity (the one that is rebuilding the Kazimierz district.)

Noteworthy historical events involving or affecting the Jewish Community: 1) Two famous Hasidic rabbi's. 2)Birthplace of Nobel Physicist I. Rabi. 3) Noteworthy individuals who lived in this Jewish community and are buried in the cemetery: Rabbi Zwi Hirsch, and Rabbi Menachem Mendl. According to a sign the last known Jewish burial there was in 1942. Zarszyn, 9 km away, also used this cemetery. The cemetery is about 9 blocks from the synagogue. The cemetery is landmarked.

The cemetery location is in the small village, in a field 7 blocks south of town square. The cemetery is located on a hillside, but not too steep, more an incline. The opening of the gate is at the crown of the side of a hill. The cemetery is separate, but near other cemeteries and marked by a sign in Hebrew with a Star of David, and another sign in Polish. The sign reads as follows: "Stary smentarz zydowski na ktorym sa pochowani snani rabini meszkancy miasta oraz zolnerze ktorzy padli walczac o nepodlelosc polski smentarz byl czynny do 1942 r kiedy niemcy wypedzili zydow celem zaglady czesc ich pamieci". The cemetery is reached by turning off the street, parking across from the Catholic cemetery, walking east 100 meters through a field. The field land in owned by a public trust which allows the land to lie fallow. Access to the cemetery is open to all who go to see the caretaker to unlock the gate. The cemetery is surrounded by a relatively new continous cement wall with iron bars potruding vertically up from the cement base for about 7 feet and a gate that locks. Approximately 150 gravestones in a lot of brush. Many were removed for road work. The vegetation overgrowth in the cemetery is a constant problem which is disturbing stones and damaging stones (moss is growing on them). The cemetery contains tombstones that are flat shaped stones, common stones with carvings of animals, etc., finely smoothed and inscribed stones, flat stones with carved relief decoration, and double tombstones. Inscriptions on tombstones are in Hebrew and Yiddish.

The cemetery property is now used for Jewish cemetery use only. Properties adjacent to the cemetery are agricultural and residential, with about 6 wooden homes with agricultural plots. The cemetery is visited rarely. The cemetery is known to have been vandalized (stones overturned, broken or stolen, graffiti painted on walls or stone, etc.; graves desecrated). The cemetery has a regular caretaker. On my visit (unannounced) the caretaker was clearing brush from the cmetery and burning leaves. Within the limits of the cemetery there is more than one ohel.

The RYMANOW cemetery survey was completed in 1992 by the US Commission

The cemetery in Rymanow is 500 meters southward of the market square. The caretaker for the Jewish Cemetery is: M. Biatas, ul. Grunwaldzka 9, 38-520 Rymanow.

The earliest known Jewish Community was in the 15th century. The Jewish population in 1921 was 1412. Two noteworthy Jews are buried in the cemetery: Menahem Menolel and Cwi Hirsch. The cemetery was used for Orthodox Jews. It is not listed as a monument. The cemetery's location is suburban, at the crown of a hill and isolated. There are no signs or markers. The cemetery is reached by turning directly off a public road. It is open to all. There are no walls, fences and gates.
The approximate size of the cemetery, 2.6ha; there are 100 to 500 gravestones, 50-75% of the stones remain. The cemetery is not divided into sections. Tombstones are dated in the 19th and 20th century. They are made of granite and some of sandstone. There are rough stones or boulders, finely smoothed and inscribed stone and flat stones with carved relief decoration. The inscriptions are in Hebrew and the cemetery contains a Memorial to Jewish Soldiers. There are also marked mass graves. It is used as a Jewish Cemetery. Ajacent properties are agricultural. The cemetery is visited frequently by organized groups or tours and private visitors. The cemetery is known to have been vandalized during WWII. In 1982 two ohels were built. There is no maintenance. Occasional clearing by private individuals, keeps the cemetery clean. Vegetation overgrowth is a constant problem, damaging stones. Vegetation and vandalism are considered very serious threats. The cemetery is overgrown with young trees destroying gravestones.
