The new Jewish cemetery on Gorkogo Street was closed in 1949. The territory of the churchyard in 1958 was given for the construction of the stadium "Krasnoye Znamya" (now - "Neman").

Tombstones from the cemetery were used by the authorities for the construction of roads. Metal sign at the cemetery entrance - for the installation of a monument to Lenin. Some of the tombstones were dismantled by local residents and used for household needs.

In 2003, during the reconstruction of the stadium, part of the remains were transferred to the Zanemanskoye cemetery. Through the efforts of the community, a memorial plaque was installed at the stadium.

Zanemanskoye cemetery is the only surviving Jewish cemetery in Grodno. It is located on the southern bank of the Neman River, west of the New Bridge. Burials in the cemetery have been carried out since the 18th century. According to sources, the cemetery was founded at the same time in the Zaneman suburb.
