In Częstochowa, ul. Kawia contains Jewish mass graves commemorated by symbolic matzevot (Jewish tombstones). It is the site where Jews were murdered during the liquidation of the Częstochowa Ghetto.

Between 22nd September and 15th December 1942, here, the Nazi German criminals carried out executions of more than 2,000 Jews.

On 8th November 2026, members of the Częstochowa branch of the TSKŻ (Social and Cultural Association of Jews in Poland) honoured the memory of those murdered on this site. At the same time, they commemorated the mass anti-Jewish pogroms of Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass), which took place on 9th–10th November 1938 in Nazi Germany, Austria and in the Free City of Danzig.
