The Jewish cemetery at Okopowa street, Warsaw, was established in 1806 and functions until now. There are about 200,000 tombstones. Among them we find those of well-known Jews: Ludwik Zamenhof (1859-1917), a physician, author of the Esperanto language; Ester Rachel Kamińska (1870-1925), an actress;
