The old Jewish cemetery was located near the city center, half of which is now occupied by a school built in 1975, but the remains are no longer there. When it was being built, the authorities announced that relatives could take the remains of their relatives from the cemetery and bury them. However, only a few residents of Plungė traveled abroad in this way. The remaining memorial stones were taken to Kaušėnai, where they lay for more than fifteen years. When Lithuania regained its independence, Jakovas Bunka collected all the remaining ones and arranged them in rows reminiscent of the Wailing Wall.
There are 92 tombstones of pink, gray, black granite, concrete with inscriptions in Hebrew, and in 1993. an information monument made of stone was built.
