Earliest known Jewish community was 1724, a recorded prayer house. 1930 Jewish population was 0. 11-13 families were permitted in first half of 19th century (91 people, 30% of total population in 1828). They moved to big towns in second half of 19th century. The synagogue closed and congregation disbanded at the end of the 19th century. Last Jews left Hostice in 1902. The unlandmarked cemetery originated 1725 and 1735 with last known Jewish burial probably late 19th century. The Jewish community was Conservative. Between fields and woods, the flat and isolated site has no sign. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open with permission with a broken masonry wall, last repaired in 1934-35. The cemetery has no gate now but a nice iron gate existed in 1981. Size of cemetery before and after WWII: 0.0543 ha.

50 gravestones, 1-20 not in original location and 50%-75% toppled or broken. The oldest known legible gravestone is 1735. The 18th and 19th centery marble, granite, and sandstone flat shaped stones or flat stones with carved relief decoration have Hebrew inscriptions. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. Prague Jewish community owns Jewish cemetery. Adjacent properties are agricultural and woods. Rarely, private visitors and local residents stop. Local non-Jewish residents cleared vegetation about 1987 but no care or maintenance now. Within the limits of the cemetery are no structures. Security (uncontrolled access to secluded spot) is a serious threat. Vandalism and vegetation are moderate threats. Weather erosion and pollution are slight threats.
