The cemetery was established in 1822 as a necropolis for Jews from Ujazd.
During World War II, the Germans devastated the cemetery, but it was not completely destroyed. Burchard reports that there were about 50 tombstones in the cemetery after the war. Currently, on the area of 0.5 ha, about 30 sandstone matzevot have survived, and the oldest of them dates from February 19, 1822.
The cemetery is located in the forest, it is unfenced with no preserved borders.
