The Jewish cemetery in Skoczów (more precisely in Wilamowice) was established in 1891.
In 1910, the area of the necropolis was fenced off with a wooden fence. There was also a funeral home and a house for the janitor next to the cemetery. About 300 deceased people were buried in the cemetery.
During World War II, the Germans devastated the necropolis. Most of the matzevot were then taken to the Schancer brothers' concrete plant in Górny Bor. The stonemasons bought them back and transformed them into Christian tombstones.
After the war, the saved matzevot were transported back to the cemetery.
On the area of 1 ha, 50 tombstones from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century have survived. The oldest preserved tombstone dates back to 1891 and belongs to Perel Zabarska. The tombstones were made of granite, sandstone and terrazzo. The flat stone tombstones have typical decorations and inscriptions in Hebrew and German. No information about any mass graves located in the cemetery. The area is completely fenced. The boundaries of the necropolis are preserved and comply with the boundaries of 1939.
