Karaganda began to develop rapidly in the 1930s. In 1934, it received the status of a city. Jews appeared in the city as engineer and technical workers and doctors at construction sites of the first five-year plans, exiled during the repressions of the 1930s and early 1950s, as well as evacuated specialists from the occupied regions of the USSR during World War II.

As of 2017, there were 17 cemeteries in Karaganda. According to local media reports, 12 of them did not have normal roads. Jewish burials are in the cemetery known as Dalniy Park. In 2017, the entrances to it were in a deplorable state. In 2018, through the efforts of Jewish organizations, the cataloging of the Jewish part of the cemetery began.

As of 2020, more than 300 burials were included in the electronic catalog.
