Zanemanskoe Jewish cemetery - the only one of the three Jewish cemeteries in Hrodna, surviving. How many years in fact, this cemetery, the experts find it difficult to answer. The first Jews came to Grodno presumably in the XII century. On Zanemanskom Jewish cemetery tombstones found, dating back to the XVIII century, however, many of the ancient plates have gone underground cemetery.

Zanemanskoe cemetery was outside the city limits. Basically, the Jews were buried in the Old and New Jewish cemetery in Grodno. New Jewish Cemetery, which, despite the name, it was a few hundred years, it has been plowed in the mid 1950s. Monuments and tombstones have gone to strengthen the pedestal of the monument to Lenin, and the place of plowed field after the stadium was built, "Red Banner" (the modern name of the stadium - "Neman"). Partial reburial was done only during the reconstruction of the stadium in 2003.

Old Jewish cemetery is located near the Lutheran Church in the Great Trinity Street. In its place is now a parking lot. Reburial nobody did, because the descendants of those who rest in the cemetery were destroyed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Everything that made the authorities - raked old bones, fragments of monuments and land and moved all the territory Zanemanskogo Jewish cemetery. Now, these ancient tombs, transformed into a mountain of earth and rubble, buried next to the graves in the Jewish cemetery Zanemanskom.

On Zanemanskom Jewish cemetery is the tomb of Alexander Ziskind - author of "Yesod veshoresh well-avoyda" who died in 1794.
