November 2024 NEWS:
1) In Korczyna a few trees have been endangering the Jewish cemetery. FODŻ and the local town have found a volunteer who will cut the trees for free! Thank you to FODŻ, Krzysztof Bielawski, the local volunteer, and all involved in this small but vital act of protecting memory.

2) We are now working with descendant Krzystof Wołek and his father to raise funds to repair the wall and care for the Bytom Jewish cemetery. Please help us protect this cemetery where 1000 tombstones still stand.
3) Led by Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich and Adam Bartosz, a dedication ceremony took place in September at the Jasliska Jewish Cemetery. We acknowledge Rav Jacob Schwartz for his generosity permitting this occasion and his support of this event through FJHP.
