Abstract

For centuries synagogues, houses of prayer, Jewish cemeteries with pre-burial houses were an important element of the landscape of the cities located within current borders of the Silesian Voivodeship. Unfortunately not many examples of this heritage have survived to present day - on 64 Jewish cemeteries located within the borders of the Voivodeship only 15 Jewish pre-burial houses have survived, many of them in a very poor technical condition. The aim of the article is to present state of preservation of this extremely valuable architectural and cultural heritage. Presented research is the result of in situ studies conducted in 2018-2021.
