When old jewish cemetery became full, there was built a new one in 19th century. In 1860 there was built a hall close to entrance. These tombs are the only commemorations to ancestors of jewish families from Brtnice that were killed by Nazis during the Second world war. In May 1942 fourty two Jews were deported to the Nazi concentration camps. Only two persons survived the deportation, but they never came back to Brtnice. In 1953 there was the last jewish bury of Arnošt Weisenstein from Brtnice. From that times the cemetery is no longer used.
