The Naréw Jewish Cemetery

The Naréw Jewish Cemetery is thought to have been established in the 19th century and was actively used through WWII. The Germans took the town of Naréw in September 1941. While occupying the town, they commissioned the removal of Matzevot (tombstones) from the Cemetery to cobble the streets and sidewalks of the town.

In 1983 approximately 70 tombstones, excavated from Piaski Street, were transported to the cemetery. Most remain their today along with fragments of Matzevot. The cemetery currently has a cement wall surrounding it and a sign from the Foundation for Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland - FODZ regarding erection of the wall by ESJF in 2016. 

We seek donations to maintain the cemetery and keep it up and put up a marker for the ancestors that are buried there as well as ancestors and family members that were murdered in the Shoah but never received a proper burial.

Please help us do this work.
