The cemetery belonging to the Jewish communities of Sławków and Strzemieszyce was established on land purchased in 1907 from the owner of the estate in Krzykawka. However, the oldest identified burials date back to 1904, which proves that the land was used by Jewish communities much earlier.
In 1928, Szulim, son of Mosze Juda Zając, the first rabbi of the Jewish community in Sławków, was buried at the cemetery, and an ohel was erected over his grave. In 1939, the bodies of Jews murdered by the Nazis in 1939 near the bridge on Biała Przemsza and in Koźle were laid at the cemetery.
As of today, the necropolis looks developed and reasonably well-kept. About 300 tombstones (including the oldest one from 1904), a devastated ohel, a pre-funeral house and wall relics have survived there.
