A longtime cemetery researcher, Krzysztof Bielawski created the website Jewish Cemeteries in Poland (www.cmentarze-zydowskie.pl). On a personal note, I have that site to thank for information about the cemetery where my grandparents were buried a century ago. I'd heard from my mother that the post office in Mielec, Poland, was built on that cemetery after World War II. From Bielowski's website I learned that at the time the post office was built (1960s), remains were moved to a local Catholic cemetery. The remains were later transferred to the Jewish cemetery in Nowy Sacz. I visited the Nowy Sacz cemetery in 2018 and indeed, a marker there commemorates this reinterment.
