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.

Status of Our Work in Poland
As we head into the back half of 2021, we're gearing up to make plans for our hopeful return to Poland in 2022! Our board will be meeting this fall to discuss possible cemetery restoration locations, timing of projects, and coordinating with our partners. We'll be holding all of our plans loosely as we continue to watch the status of travel and health status around the world. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date as we continue to make plans for the future. Check out a review of our 2019 projects by visiting our Summer 2019 Project Review. |
