The few traces left by the Jews include the synagogue (built in the late 18th century), which was destroyed during the war, and later, in a different architectural design, for many years served as a cinema, and today it is a shop. On the edge of town there is the old Jewish cemetery. Thanks to the project Renewal of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland, the cemetery has been restored, the opening ceremony took place on 15 October 2001. The symbolism of preserved tombstones does not differ from those of the other cemeteries. At the graves of men there are hands gesturing blessings, arms holding pitchers of water, books, a lion. The characteristic features of women's graves are candles in candlesticks, broken tree, a money-box with a hand putting a coin in it. This cemetery is the only material trace of the presence of Jews in Ożarów from the 17th century to extermination in 1942 and the oldest monument in town. For several months in 1942, there was a ghetto in Ożarów, with Jews not only from Ożarów and Poland, but also a group of about 200 Jews from Austria. In the summer of that year they were transported to Treblinka death camp, where they were most likely all murdered.
