Okopowa Street Jewish Cemetery is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe. Located on Okopowa street and abutting the Powązki Cemetery, the Jewish Cemetery was established in 1806 and occupies 33 hectares (83 acres) of land.

It is now the site of numerous overgrown and abandoned graves and crypts, having fallen in disrepair after the Nazi invasion of Poland and subsequent Holocaust. Although it was closed down during the World War II, after the war it was reopened and a small portion of it remains active, serving Warsaw's small remaining Jewish population.
