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.

Announcing our 2025 Plans
We are happy to be returning to Poland to work with local and international partners to care for four Jewish cemeteries across the country. We're excited to return to a couple of towns we've been to before while also exploring new areas. If you have interest in applying for a project that is open to volunteers, please see our Volunteer page for more information. Applications are due by May 31, 2025. We'll be sharing about each project as they occur on our Instagram and Facebook pages so please give us a follow! Thank you! |
