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.

We're heading back to Poland!
We're happy to announce that we've set six projects to take place this summer. It will be our first summer back since 2019 and we can't wait to return. We'll be joining several of our partners to clean and clear Jewish cemeteries all around the country. Some will be familiar spots and others will be new to us. Learn more about each project by visiting our current projects page. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date as we prepare for the summer and while we're conducting each project. |
