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.
2021 Projects
Planning for the future!
We missed being in Poland in 2020 but we're eagerly making plans to hopefully return in 2021. We continue to monitor health and travel regulations and will make plans accordingly.
Please follow us on social media to stay up to date as we continue to make plans for 2021!
