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.

Bring on a new year of work!
We are happy to be returning to Poland for the spring and summer of 2023. It will be exciting to return to familiar locations while also working in some new spots. We can't wait for all the good work that will be done and for the great people we'll meet along the way. Check out more details of our projects here. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date as we get to work! |
