The Jewish cemetery in Barcin is situated on a rise at the west side of Podgórna street. It is known that before 1939 there was a pre-funeral house on the cemetery. As a result of damages no original gravestones survived till the present day.
On the 15th of December 2007, a memorial was unveiled on the cemetery. A plaque on a granite boulder has an inscription in both Polish and Hebrew: "In memory of Barcin Jews buried in this cemetery. May their souls be bound up in the bond of eternal life". The memorial was financed by the City Hall of Barcin and Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage. Thanks to efforts of Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage on the cemetery also appeared a plaque that says: "The Jewish cemetery. A passer-by , respect the place of eternal rest for the dead".
