The Great Synagogue in Kraśnik is an Ashkenazi synagogue built between 1637 and 1654. The synagogue was restored in the 18th century but also after 1945, in 1989 and finally in 2006. This Baroque brick building now serves as a cultural centre.

The cemetery has 40 well-preserved tombstones, in their original places and with visible inscriptions and images. A fence was erected by ESJF in July 2016 to protect it.
The Synagogue in Bychawa is an Ashkenazi synagogue built in 1810 and restored in 1876-97 and 1899. This Baroque brick building is now abandoned.
The cemetery was established in Frampol right after the city’s founding. The cemetery survived the War almost intact. After the War, the local non-Jewish population used the stone fence and most of the tombstones for construction purposes. After 1946, the cemetery was narrowed on the west side, and the edge was incorporated into the town. Over time, the cemetery became overgrown with poplars and robins. In 1985, the cemetery was fenced, a memorial for the victims of the Holocaust was erected, and the mass graves were marked.
It is home to 46 tombstones, some of which are today badly damaged. The cemetery also has 160 matzevot, most of which are fragmented and the oldest of which dates to 1735 or 1736.
