In the Szyd\u0142owiec Jewish cemetery (2006)<\/p><\/div>\n

A number of cemetery clean-ups and other initiatives and developments have taken place in Poland in recent weeks \u2014 and also some vandalism. We have reported on some of them, but here are notes about others. Virtual Shtetl has also run a round-up of recent cemetery news, with more details.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warsaw: Matzevot and fragments are being returned to the Br\u00f3dno Jewish cemetery in Warsaw. The city of Warsaw has begun to return hundreds of Jewish gravestones and fragments that had been used to build a pergola and stairs in a park in the city\u2019s Praga district. The Warsaw Jewish community and others, including in recent months the From the Depths foundation, have long lobbied for these fragments to be taken back to the cemetery, which itself is slated for renovative and clean-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warsaw: At the end of September, several dozen small fragments of matzevot which a Warsaw resident had kept in her basement were transported to the main Jewish cemetery in Warsaw with the aid of Virtual Shtetl. VS states that in 2005, while searching for her family roots she visited Ozork\u00f3w near \u0141\u00f3d\u017a the person (who wished to remain anonymous) picked up more than 20 fragments of broken tombstones from a devastated Jewish cemetery and placed them in the basement of her Warsaw home. In September, she informed the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews that she wanted to return them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Przysucha: A group of students from Przysucha produced a list of tombstones from the local Jewish cemetery. They cleaned and photographed the matzevot. Names of the deceased have been deciphered on the basis of those photographs and the documentation posted in the \u201cMemory in Stone\u201d section of the \u201cVirtual Shtetl\u201d portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seroczyn, S\u0142awatycze and Szyd\u0142owiec: The Jewish cemetery in Seroczyn in central Poland, was cleaned up and cleared of vegetation, with aid from the Nissenbaum Family Foundation, whose workers used chemicals to get rid of brush and bushes. The Nissenbaum Foundation has also carried out clean-up work in the Jewish cemeteries in S\u0142awatycze and Szyd\u0142owiec.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tarczyn: Jewish cemetery, long overgrown and used as an an illegal garbage dump, has been demarcated and some basic clean-up took place. Also, local man Maciej Irzykowski transferred a matzevah discovered in the town to the cemetery and erected an information sign about the cemetery prepared by the team of the Kirkuty.pl portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Klodzko: Several gravestone at the Jewish cemetery in Klodzko were damaged by unknown perpetrators. FODZ notes that \u201cThe damage done to the cemetery is even more regrettable considering the fact that the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland for years has efficiently cooperated with local volunteers for the upkeep of the Klodzko Jewish cemetery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
