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.
2022: A Successful Return to Poland

Oh, it was good to be back!
The summer of 2022 found us back in Poland after a two year absence. We completed five projects that spanned across the country. It was a great season of good work, reconnecting with friends and partners, and making new friendships with people from all over the world. We're grateful for the support of our donors and friends who made our work possible! Check out our summer project recap here. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date as we prepare for future work! |
