In 2005, the church received a mosaic above the main entrance, depicting the image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Inside the building, a rich movable equipment is exhibited. A significant part of it comes from earlier Orthodox churches in Radom, which were stored in the cellars of the OO monastery during World War II. Bernardines and the former cathedral at Plac Konstytucji 3 Maja. About 100 historic tombstones of a high artistic level have been preserved in the cemetery. They were entered into the register of monuments in two sets under number B-233 of December 16, 2009 and number B-322 of January 25, 2012. The tombstones were usually made by the best stonemasonry and art workshops in Radom (Staniszewski, Hebdzyński, Piotrowski) . Numerous inscriptions in Russian and Church Slavonic have been preserved. In many cases, the content of the inscription contains a lot of information about the deceased people and their status. Teachers, soldiers, officials and doctors are commemorated. The tombstones are characterized by a variety of forms and stylistic solutions used at that time in Radom. Most of the objects were made of sandstone. The cemetery was entered into the register of monuments under no. 362/A/87 of November 27, 1987. History of the object: As a result of the efforts of Teofil Nowicki, protojerei (superior, superior) in 1832, the Government Commission for Internal and Clergy Affairs agreed to move the Orthodox church from Opatów to Radom. The church was arranged in the former Benedictine monastery church. At that time, over 700 military personnel and 20 Orthodox civilians lived in Radom. The Orthodox cemetery was established only in 1839 outside the then city limits. Previously, the dead Evangelicals were buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery. The area of the cemetery was extended and fenced several times (in 1851 and 1859). In the fourth quarter of the 19th century, the cemetery acquired its present appearance. At that time, the main gate, the gatehouse and the pre-burial house were built. During the First World War, a war quarter was arranged here for the fallen soldiers of the Orthodox faith. In 1948, against the Orthodox community, the state authorities separated part of the cemetery from the south, where exhumed Soviet soldiers killed in Radom and Soviet prisoners of war murdered by the Germans were buried in mass graves. As a result of these activities, many historical tombstones were removed and destroyed. In 1990, a monument to the soldiers of the Red Army was erected here (until now standing on the edge of Kościuszko Park), and in 2004 a monument of gratitude to the red army (until 1993 standing at Plac Zwycięstwa, currently Jagielloński). In 1992, an Orthodox Church of St. st. Nicholas, which was skilfully integrated into the space of the historic cemetery.

Home for the Elderly and Disabled of the Mosaic Faith them. Bekermans. Facility name: Home for the Elderly and Disabled of the Mosaic Faith, named after Bekermans Other, common/colloquial names of the facility: Jewish Home/Home for the Elderly and Orphans/ Niepubliczna Szkoła Podstawowa im. J. Słowacki Facility address: ul. Warszawska 3 Time of construction of the facility: 1913. Object designer: unknown The client of the facility: Samuel Rufin Bekerman Description: It is a five-story building, made of red brick and not plastered. It has a characteristic elevation maintained in the neo-Gothic style, fashionable at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The front elevation of the building has 13 axes, divided symmetrically by several avant-corps. From the rear side, the building has a symmetrically placed extension (partly modern - harmonized with the original building). The roof of the building is multi-pitched, covered with metal tiles. Today, a gymnasium is added to the original building. Originally, the building at the top of the front facade had a four-sided tower. From the side of the garden there was a porch crowned with two turrets, on top of which the Stars of David were placed. These elements gave the building an unambiguously Jewish character. They were removed during World War II. History of the facility: The Home for the Elderly and Disabled of the Mosaic Faith was built in the Obozisko, a peripheral district of Radom, as a result of the initiative of Samuel and Sana Bekerman, who in 1893 made a bequest for its creation, allocating 600 rubles a year for this purpose from their inheritance. The intention to establish a care facility was realized by Samuel Rufin Bekerman, who in 1912 created the Bekerman Foundation, which had the amount of PLN 30,000. rubles. Already on March 16, 1913, an impressive building was put into use, originally intended only for the elderly of the Jewish faith. Shortly after its construction, during World War I, a Jewish infectious diseases hospital with about 30 beds was located in the building. The building returned to its original function shortly after the end of the war, and from August 1920 it also became a children's home for Jewish orphans, who lived here as many as 70. The younger pupils were provided with school education, the older ones - with education and gaining professional practice in school workshops. The facility was maintained by an institution called Dom Sierot Żydowskich, which in exchange for hospitality undertook to take care of elderly residents. In 1927, the Jewish Religious Community in Radom took over the management of the Bekerman Foundation and its assets. During World War II (since 1940), the Germans decided to place a Jewish infectious disease hospital in the building again. It existed until August 1942 (until the liquidation of the ghetto). All the residents of the house were then murdered. After the end of the war, the devastated building of the poorhouse was thoroughly renovated with the funds of the Social Fund for the Reconstruction of the Capital. Initially, in 1950, it was planned to locate a nursing school here, but eventually, in 1954, the building was handed over to the needs of education and Public Primary School No. 27 was located here. They created the "Sami dla Siebie" association and organized a non-public primary school for them. Juliusz Słowacki. In 2016, on the sold part of the plot of the former Home for the Elderly and Disabled of the Mosaic Faith, the office building "Temida" was built.
