The Przemysl Cemetery Project
For much of the past decade, R&R has lead the effort to restore
and
maintain the Slowackiego Jewish Cemetery in Przemysl. We have
spent
nearly one hundred thousand of dollars to transform a forgotten,
deteriorating
field into one of the best Jewish cemetery sites in all of
Poland.
The work was initially focused on security and reclamation --
completing the
surrounding fence and clearing half a century of overgrowth.
The next
phase saw us restoring the many deteriorating stones and markers,
including the
re-dedication of the Shoah mass grave monument.
We've come a long way, but there is still much work to be done.
It costs
nearly ten thousand dollars per year just to maintain the site, funds
that
today come 100% from donors to the R&R Foundation.
Every
penny helps – Please consider making a donation
today.
