BialyGen: Bialystok Region #Bialystok #Poland Trestina (Trzcianne) cemetery restoration #poland
David Brostoff
To all those interested in Trestina (Pol. Trzcianne),
The Jewish cemetery in Trzcianne (Trestina), northwest of Bialystok, is
in a state of deep decay, not having been maintained since the Nazis
destroyed most of the town in 1941.
Many of us with Trestina roots have ancestors and relatives who are
buried there.
A project to restore the cemetery has been started by Trestina
descendants, in partnership with the Foundation for the Preservation of
Jewish Heritage in Poland (FODZ) <https://fodz.pl/?d=1&l=en>, the
Polish government entity that owns the cemetery and much of the communal
Jewish property in Poland.
The project has also received the support of the chief rabbi of Poland,
Michael Schudrich.
To learn more, please contact me directly, or visit the project's web
page at <https://jewishheritagepoland.org/trzcianne.html>.
Thank you,
