The Cemetery of Lost Cemeteries (Polish: Cmentarz Nieistniejących Cmentarzy) is a monument that commemorates the necropolis which no longer exists in the city of Gdańsk, Poland.[1]
It is dedicated to the citizens of Gdańsk who were once buried in one of the city’s 27 graveyards either destroyed during World War II or bulldozed on purpose after the end of the war.
The monument was designed to resemble a temple.
The main memorial is surrounded by broken gravestones representing all faiths, and includes a poem by the Jewish poet Mascha Kaléko (1912–1975), whose poetry was burned on the direct orders of Hitler in May 1933.
