The "New" Jewish Cemetery in Brzesko

When the "Memory and Dialogue—Common History" Association first started taking care of the Brzesko Jewish cemetery in 2015, most of the area was covered with bushes and it was only possible to walk down the main alley leading to the ohels. They have spent hundreds of hours cutting bushes, collecting rubbish, mowing grass, cleaning tombstones (matzevot). They have developed a good relationship with the city administration, who remove piles of cut trees and all collected garbage regularly.

Tremendous work has been accomplished but much also remains to be done. We are currently raising funds to support educational efforts to engage the local community in the Jewish history of Brzesko and clean the cemetery. All work in the cemetery is conducted with the approval of the Jewish Religious Community of Kraków, owners of the cemetery.
