The first Jews arrived in Bedzin in the Middle Ages. In the following centuries the local Jewish commune played an important role in the life of the town. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Będzin had the largest concentration of the Jewish population in the Dąbrowa Basin. It was almost completely destroyed by the Holocaust. On the northern slopes of Castle Hill, there is a Jewish cemetery with approximately 850 tombstones. The oldest of them dates from 1831.
