Nowogród  Jewish Cemetery

Picture

Mimimum Online Donation $25


Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland is working to raise funds for the restoration of the Jewish cemetery in Nowogród. We are proud to have dedicated a new informational signboard there in April, 2022.

The Jewish cemetery in Nowogród is completely overgrown with trees and shrubs. It is situated in the middle of farmlands, and its rustic headstones, often found in rural areas, are in various states of disrepair.

Eighteen or so headstones are currently visible. An unknown number remain hidden under a thick layer of matted and decomposed vegetation that has accumulated since the German army occupied and largely destroyed Nowogród.

Several organizations and individuals have expressed their support for the restoration project, including the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland (FOD​Ż) and the chief rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich.

Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland has a fundraising goal of $60,000 to cover:
  • Determining the precise boundaries of the cemetery
  • Creating a memorial.
  • Fencing the perimeter
  • Clearing the vegetation
  • Cleaning the headstones, transcribing the inscriptions and creating an index
  • Holding a rededication ceremony involving rabbinic authorities, descendants, town officials, the local Catholic church and schools
​Your donation will help preserve this otherwise neglected cemetery and honor the memory of those who are buried there.  

Mimimum Online Donation $25
