Our Mission
The Matzevah Foundation seeks to remember and honor the Jewish heritage of Poland that was once a vital and vibrant part of the country before the Shoah (the Holocaust). We do this through a variety of means including Jewish cemetery restorations, commemorations of mass graves and cemeteries, and through education.
2024 Jewish Cemetery Restoration Projects
Plans are underway for 2024
We are currently working with our board and partners to solidify our projects for 2024. With a few more details and logistics to firm up, we're looking to announce our plans and which Jewish cemeteries we'll be working with in April. Looking forward to sharing our plans with you very soon! You can view a recap of our work from last year here. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date as we make plans for this year! |
