The cemetery was probably established in 1936 and performed its function until the liquidation of the Sosnowiec ghetto. The necropolis is currently in a terrible condition, devastated, temporarily serving as a local rubbish dump. The surrounding allotments also contributed to the disappearance of matzevot.

As of today, there are about 20 tombstones or their fragments in the cemetery. Only a few of them are still legible. Among them there are symbolic monuments from the Holocaust, e.g. Rachela Gross, who died in Oświęcim in 1943, or a matzeva of a man named Zylbersztajn, who died on June 30, 1945 in Terizin.
